A photographic series from the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club showing Hawaiian and other Pacific handicrafts, with photographs lent by the Bishop Museum in Honolulu. It illustrates bamboo printing stamps and their impressions, a carved Samoan siapo printing slab, Hawaiian tapa beaters (ie kuku), and tapa or kapa bark cloths from Hawaii, Niue, Tahiti and the Solomon Islands. It ends with a feather-netted Tahitian gorget and a feather cape. The text is limited to short captions and a brief note thanking Miss Gertrude Whiting for obtaining the photographs.
