John Becker: Pattern and Loom, second edition, 2009, 400 pp. (1st ed. 1986) (a free E-book)
Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Supplied note:
"Dear all,
I have now placed this book on the Web for free download:
John Becker, with the collaboration of Donald B. Wagner
Pattern and Loom:
A Practical Study of the Development of Weaving
Techniques in China, Western Asia, and Europe.
Second edition, 2009, 400 pp. (1st ed. 1986)
http://staff.hum.ku.dk/dbwagner/Pattern-and-Loom.html
John Becker (1915-1986) was the youngest of the old guard in Scandinavian hand-weaving, and one of the last to know the traditional techniques from daily production. He was also an artist, had the beginning of an academic education, and was careful to draw on other experts as necessary, so that his book is unique: based on his own very extensive experience as a weaver, on personal examination of numerous artefacts, and on written sources in Scandinavian languages, English, French, German, Spanish, Flemish, Chinese and Japanese. In his practical research he wove replicas of ancient samples, and learned from this a great deal about the ancient techniques.
John Becker died in July 1986 at the age of 71, while the first edition of this book was in press. After the publication of an edition of a few hundred, the cliches from which it was printed were destroyed; reprints have therefore not been possible. When his widow Kirsten Becker died in 2003 I inherited the copyright to the book, and the original publishers have kindly relinquished their rights, so a new edition is now possible. In this new edition I have done the typesetting and layout myself, and I hope that readers will find that the sizing and cropping of the illustrations, and their placement in relation to the text, are now more satisfactory than in the original edition.
Publication of a 400-page book in this on-line form is obviously not ideal - I am negotiating with a Danish publisher for a printed edition.
Regards
Don Wagner."
