Item details

This is a picture of old Scottish life at a time when hand loom weaving was at its peak and the Paisley shawl was the hallmark of respectability, prosperity and fashion. It was a time too when children obeyed their parents, and pleasures, especially of the women, were few and simple -- a little visiting, a little gossip, a little match-making. Ten women come on the scene. They are of various ages and types, but interwoven through all their lives is the pattern of the Paisley Shawl.
