For decades the name Pendleton has been synonymous with "Indian blankets." Anyone interested in the way white and Native American cultures have interacted and influenced each other will be fascinated by this reprint of an early Pendleton catalog, first printed in 1915. Pendleton incorporated Native American concepts and artistic influences early in the twentieth century. These high-quality woolen weavings, influential in popularizing Native American design among Anglo-Americans, were also adopted by the Indians themselves. Pendleton blankets became a measure of wealth and status among various Indian tribes and continue to be so today. The textiles depicted I this catalog will be of interest to collectors, and the catalog itself will find a wide market among collectors and students of American popular and native cultures.
From the history of the trade blanket to contemporary collectible blankets to designs of the major trade blanket manufacturers such as Pendleton Woolen Mills, Racine Woolen Mills, and Buell Manufacturing Company, Language of the Robe presents the bright colors and intricately woven patterns hallmark to American Indian trade blankets.
