Issue of the Needle and Bobbin Club's Bulletin for 1942. The main article, by Schuyler Cammann, traces the development of Chinese mandarin squares (rank badges) from the Ming period (1393) to the fall of the Manchu dynasty in 1912. It draws on museum examples, ancestral portraits and Chinese encyclopaedias, and covers k'o-ssu silk tapestry, embroidered and brocaded squares. A shorter article by Frances Little describes the Royal Manufactory at Avila, Spain (1787-1799), and its printed chintzes, with plates of floral patterns. The issue ends with Club Notes for 1942 and the list of officers.
