The Silk Pictures of Thomas Stevens is a biography written by Wilma Sinclair LeVan Baker about the life and work of Coventry weaver Thomas Stevens. The book explores Stevens' contribution to the art of weaving, particularly his innovative technique of weaving silk pictures. This technique involved using a Jacquard loom to weave intricate designs and images onto silk fabric, creating stunning and detailed works of art. The book delves into Stevens' life, from his early years as an apprentice weaver to his rise to fame as a master weaver and artist. It also explores the social and economic context of Coventry during the 19th century, providing a rich historical backdrop for Stevens' story. With detailed descriptions and illustrations of Stevens' silk pictures, this book is a fascinating exploration of the life and work of a pioneering artist and weaver.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
