There are a lot of things I like about this image: the lady on the left who came to the weaving studio with pearls on, the matching aprons that make those three women look like they’re some kind of weaving dream team, and, of course, the super-loom that takes 5 people to operate. Dorothy Liebes and weavers, 196-? / unidentified photographer. Dorothy Liebes papers, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
