An article by Zelina Comegys Brunschwig on the rise of American screen-printed decorative fabrics after the 1929 depression and World War II. It explains how screen printing works (silk screens, one screen per color, long printing tables, squeegee), compares it with wood-block and roller printing, and discusses dyes and the shift from imported to domestic production. Illustrated with printed fabric examples shown at the Slater Memorial Museum exhibition in Norwich, Connecticut, in spring 1948.
