About this book
Halifax's museum had plenty of weaving material from around the world but nothing from ancient Egypt or Greece, so its keeper, H. Ling Roth, worked from pictures instead. This paper of April 1913 from Bankfield Museum compares the published copies of Egyptian tomb drawings, which contradict each other on key points, and draws on new copies supplied by the Egyptologist N. de G. Davies.
It starts with the horizontal loom painted in the tomb of Chnem-hotep at Beni Hasan, with two women weaving and an overseer, then turns to the Greek loom. Thirty-eight line drawings and one collotype illustrate it.
