Paisley Weavers of Other Days: The Pen Folk by David Gilmour is a historical account of the weavers of Paisley, Scotland during the 19th century. The book focuses on the lives and experiences of these weavers, who were known for their intricate paisley designs and skilled craftsmanship. Gilmour delves into the social and economic conditions of the time, exploring the impact of industrialization and the rise of mass production on the weaving industry. He also examines the role of the weavers in the political and cultural life of Paisley, highlighting the ways in which they used their craft to express their political and social views. Through interviews with descendants of the weavers, as well as historical documents and artifacts, Gilmour brings to life the rich history of the Paisley weavers and their enduring legacy in the world of textile design.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
