A 1920 magazine article on the revival of hand block printing of textiles in America, prompted by an exhibition of American Decorative Art at the American Museum of Natural History. It surveys block-printed cloth from Fiji, India, Persia and Japan, describes how multi-block, multi-color prints are made and why they differ from machine and roller printing, and encourages amateurs to carve and print their own blocks. Illustrated with photographs of a teakwood block, and modern and Jacobean-style printed designs.
