INDIAN BASKETRY

James, George Wharton

Pasadena, California: Printed Privately for the Author, 1901. First Edition. Hardcover. Always a shrewd business man, James (1858-1923) was able to exploit the burgeoning interest in native crafts with this well-researched and now-standard work on the art and technique of Native American basketmaking. Octavo: 238 pp. with 300 illustrations. Original green cloth binding, with gilt-stamped titling and rendering of a basket, and blind-stamped borders. A bit of wear to the corners and tips, with some faint staining to the rear board; otherwise very good. Controversial James 27. Very good. Item #80116
