Excerpt from Peruvian Fabrics This paper is the sequel to the preceding, entitled Peruvian Textiles. In that paper the necessary introductory discussion left little space for consideration of the actual fabrics. This omission has been in a measure remedied in the present work. Here the discussion is almost entirely de voted to the different techniques of weaves. When it is understood that this technology is very nearly as extensive as is that of today, it will be appreciated that within reasonable limits, an exhaustive discussion of each division is impossible. In order to establish techniques, certain fabrics have been submitted to microscopic dissection. Where it was found advisable, detailed draw ings or diagrams have been made. These correspond as faithfully as possi ble to the fabrics under magnification. In every possible manner, these diagrams were verified, but it must be recalled that not only were the speci mens too valuable for the dissection of an unlimited number, but the fineness of texture and the fragile condition must be taken into account as well. Within my knowledge, no collection of archaic fabrics was ever subjected to so rigorous a technical investigation. But this was absolutely necessary. Fabrics, especially if very fine, and often differing in technique from modern webs, can never be fully understood from surface examination, be it ever so patient. In the following pages reference will be made to certain techniques and designs, which quite closely, and often exactly, correspond to Asiatic fabrics. Comparison of some kind or other was absolutely requisite in order to establish the significance of these weaves. The desire to clearly state the technical properties are all that such allusions mean. On any other question, such as intrusion, I am by no means qualified to write. That the mechanical resemblance is strong and even the artistic expression at least reminiscent, there can be no doubt; but this is perhaps sufficiently explained by the fact that in Asia and Peru, cotton, at least in their textile zenith, become the principal fiber.

Excerpt from Peruvian Art as Shown on Textiles and Pottery The Museum's collections of textiles and pottery vessels from pre historic graves in Peru provide an opportunity for the study of primitive art that is not excelled, if, indeed, it is equaled in any other field. The great beauty of the color schemes and the wonderful number of curious conventionalized animal figures, especially in the textiles, make these exhibits particularly valuable to the student of design. That this opportunity exists and that the Museum authorities as a part of their educational system are providing all the assistance and comfort possible to visiting artists and students are fast becoming known, as shown by the fact that for quite a number of years an average of one hundred and fifty a month have availed themselves of this privilege, while during the last few years that number has been doubled. As a large part of the students of design who make use of these textiles expect later to obtain positions in textile houses, carpet, rug, or wall paper manufactories, or to enter into some other business where designers are employed, it will interest and encourage them to know that many textile houses have lately put upon the market silks and other materials decorated with designs inspired by the figures and color schemes of the prehistoric Peruvians. Our large textile manufacturers have, year after year, sent their best artists to Paris for designs, having no idea that such a wealth of material, eminently suitable for decora tion, was waiting for them in the Museum so near at hand.

Excerpt from The Cotton Industry in Peru Cotton accounts for about one-fourth of the value of all Peruvian exports and one half of its agricultural exports. It is an important source of foreign exchange, supplies raw materials for Peru's cotton textile industry, yields cottonseed oil and cake, and pro vides jobs for many thousands of individuals. Cotton is native to Peru and has existed there as a cultivated plant for thousands of years. Francisco Pizarro found it widely used in 1952 and cotton cloth has been dis covered in ancient Peruvian tombs. The early Spaniards, interested primarily in pre cions metals, paid little or no attention to this plant grown by the native Indians. Commercial cotton production, as it is now known, did not get underway until the early 1860's, when the shortage of European cotton resulting from the American Civil War caused English cotton and textile leaders to join local interests in the active promo tion of cotton production in Peru. This promotion included the introduction of seed of cotton varieties popular in the United States and Egypt and favored in the mill areas of Great Britain.
