Andean Textiles

This week we present textiles from Ancient Peru from Los Tejidos Indios del Antiguo Perú by Raoul d’ Harcourt and Marguerite Béclard d'Harcourt. It is a 40 plate portfolio that was published in Paris by Albert Morancé in 1924. Unfortunately there is no text that accompanies the portfolio. Raoul d’ Harcourt was a French ethnologist and his wife Marguerite Béclard d'Harcourt was a French composer and ethno-musicologist, who studied folk melodies from Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and other countries. They both traveled extensively in South America, and published La Musique des Incas et ses survivances in 1925, which is scholarly work on the ethnomusicology of the Incas and their descendants in the high Andes.
