Uses, techniques, materials, distribution, and influences unique to textile arts are presented. Conservator's Report by Howard F. Mailand explains optical examinations, radiation procedures, chemical tests, and specialized methods performed on textiles. A textile analysis accompanies each of the 168 catalog entries and photographs. Notes on technical analysis are provided by Katherine Dolk-Ellis. Includes Technical Appendix by L.P. Stodulski, D. Nauman, and M. Kennedy on the analysis of precious metal threads. For abstract of this appendix, see also 22-1112. -- AATA
