An interesting Museum collection that could
stand a little updating and more color plates. A
present from my brother Jim. |

This is one of the all time greatest rug
books. The importance of McMullan's work. vision
and collection can not be understated. Joe
McMullan was a great collector but I wish he had
paid a little attention to structure. The
collection is wonderful and the plates are a joy
to behold. |

David Sylvester
wrote the section "Western attitudes to
Eastern Carpets". May H. Beattie
wrote the section "On The Making of
Carpets". Excellent plates of a World Famous
collection. This is often called Joe McMullan's
little book. That is only valid in comparison to
his big book. |
