Double issue (Vol. 18, Nos. 1 & 2) of the Needle and Bobbin Club Bulletin, devoted mainly to Tassilo Adam's long illustrated study of batik in Java. The article covers the history and name of batik, preparing cotton and silk, the tjanting wax pen, wax-resist and indigo and soga brown dyeing, and a classified survey of designs (parang, kawoeng, semen, and others) with many line plates. It also treats court-proscribed patterns (larangan), headcloth and sarong dress, and block-printed batik, and ends with a bibliography, index and list of illustrations. The back matter has Club notes, exhibition notices (American embroideries, Peruvian weaves, the Arthur B. Davies textile collection), current notes on lace classes, and short magazine reviews.
