Combined issue (Vol. 24, Nos. 1 & 2, 1940) of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club, devoted mainly to an English translation of N. Sobolev's 1912 study of hand-block printed textiles in Russia, translated by Eugenia Tolmachoff. It traces Eastern, Byzantine and Western (French, woodcut, gingerbread-mold) influences on printed fabric designs used for vestments, kerchiefs, curtains, book bindings and tents, with many halftone illustrations from Moscow and Brooklyn Museum collections. It also includes excerpts from V. Klein on cotton fabrics (mitkal, kutnia, zenden, kindiak), a glossary-style appendix of Russian textile terms, a bibliography, and the Club's notes for 1940-1941.
