Overview

The dazzling Indian trade blanket has become one of the hottest categories in collecting. Icons of Adirondack and Western decor, these stunning geometric-patterned blankets remain a staple of Native American life and are regularly featured in design and shelter magazines. "Chasing Rainbows" is the first book to trace the fascinating stow of the commercially produced wool trade blankets from the 1892-1942 "golden age" as well as the equally collectible 1910-1942 cotton Indian camp blankets. Illustrated throughout with hundreds of rare blankets, historic photographs of Native Americans and original blanket manufacturers' catalog pages, this definitive work advises where and what to collect and how to care for vintage blankets.
