The elusive English edition of a great exhibition catalogue on textiles and fashion in Nigeria. With essays and photographs of both 20th century and contemporary examples of the iconic often brightly coloured industrially embroidered textiles common in Nigeria. Worn at festivities, but also formal occasions, the whole history of production and cultural context of the garments is traced in this book.
A very good copy.
