Silk: The Queen of Textiles

Silk: The Queen of Textiles

A photoessay on silk, remarkable photography. “The Chinese held on to the secrets of silk for more than 5000 years. Legend tells of two monks who smuggled silkworm eggs, hidden in their staffs, as they traveled west along the Silk Road in the 6th Century. Emperor Justinian received the eggs and established the first silk industry in the west. Today Asia still dominates in the production of silk. As always, the commodity finds its admirers everywhere.”
