Ciba Review #90, April 1950
Monograph · 36 pages · German
Issue 90 (April 1950) of Ciba-Rundschau, the German-language edition, devoted to the textile techniques of the Maori of New Zealand. Dr. Walter G. Fischel covers the discovery and settlement of New Zealand, Maori culture, clothing (flax and feather cloaks, dog-hair cloaks, rain capes, belts and skirts), plaiting and twining techniques, the taniko border technique, and dyeing methods using bark and mud mordants. The text is illustrated with engravings, photographs and schematic diagrams of twining and taniko, and ends with a bibliography. The issue closes with Ciba company sections on dyes and finishing (a resin catalyst, camaieu effects on natural silk, new dyestuffs) and advertisements.
