Holmes is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work comprehensively charts the history and evolution of textile art, exploring its intrinsic connection to form, function, and ornamentation. The text likely examines the development of textile techniques in relation to broader cultural and artistic movements, particularly within indigenous American artistry. At the start of the work, the author introduces textile art as one of the oldest forms of artistic expression, tracing its evolution from primitive times to contemporary practices. Holmes emphasizes the significance of function and construction in shaping both the aesthetic and practical aspects of woven fabrics. He outlines various methods of textile production, including weaving, plaiting, and netting, while discussing how aesthetic features evolved alongside functional demands. The opening establishes a framework for understanding how these artistic practices have influenced not only textiles themselves but also other forms of art and cultural expressions across time.
