Toronto: The Royal Ontario Museum, 1982. Softcover. vg. Dusky rose and cream decorated wraps, 168 pp., 85 BW illus. "A considerably enlarged version of an essay presented at the symposium on 'Islam and the Balkans' organized in connection with the World of Islam Festival in July 1976 at the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh. ... The purpose of the monograph is to discuss the Ottoman influence on textiles and costume in European Turkey. The illustrative material provides a context for the discussion but is not necessarily referred to specifically in the text. The introductory notes to some picture-groups and the extended captions are intended as further historical and ethnographical evidence for the great impact that Turkish textiles had in the area under discussion. Most of the illustrations have been selected from the rich resources of the Royal Ontario Museum." (preface).
