Book excerpt: "One of the most enduring motifs that man has ever devised is that known to the English speaking world as the Paisley Pattern. Originating in pre-historic times as a representative plant form, it has been in constant use, in one way or another, for over 2000 years. When introduced into Europe late in the eighteenth century, the pattern was seen as something exotic and was soon enthusiastically copied by textile manufacturers in Britain and France. The shawls, which were the principle garments to be decorated with the motif, remained an essential part of a woman's wardrobe for virtually a century, adapting in size and shape as each new dress fashion came along. During that time millions of shawls were produced, in thousands of different varieties. The town of Paisley was the largest producer of the shawls and although the industry no longer dominates, the fame of the Paisley Pattern lives on. The Paisley Museum, established in 1871, has over the years built up an enormous collection of shawls for display and research purposes. Just as important as the shawls themselves, however, are the manufacturers' original pattern books, which contain large numbers of examples of the various stages in producing a design for a shawl. One hundred and fifty of the best pieces of artwork have been selected and have been faithfully reproduced in this lavishly illustrated volume. Dates of the designs and historical information have been included wherever possible, making the book important for both textile historians and students of design. With the current revival of fashionable interest in both the pattern and the shawl itself, the contents of the book will surely provide a vital source of inspiration for yet more variations of this exquisite and enduring design."--Provided by publisher

Book excerpt: Meticulous research by the author coupled with outstanding images make this book a treasure house of knowledge and nostalgia about the town whose identity has been carried all across the world by the shawl pattern which bears its name. Illustrations dating as far back as the the late seventeenth century give way to a stunning collection of photographs which range from the early nineteenth right through to the late twentieth century encompassing every aspect of town life. From the Tollbooth Steeple drawn by Slezer in 1693, the first Abbey Bridge in 1826, the sample room of the Shawl Warehouse in the late 1870s, the St. Mirren football team of 1882, Barshaw Tennis Courts in 1925, the Kelburnie Cinema in 1933 through to the Coronation crowds of 1953, the flood in Stockholm Crescent in 1963 and celebrations at St. Mirren in 1987, this book capture the town and the folk who lived there in picturesque detail. A must have for Paisley natives and visitors alike.
