Block prints from India for textiles
A 1924 Chicago publication by A. B. Lewis, a catalogue-style study of Indian block prints for textile makers, compiled for designers and textile students. The pictures show carved wood block impressions in black on pale ground: a dense blossom-and-tendril field, a border strip of stylised flowers, and clusters of paisley-like motifs, offering a designer repeatable patterns for fabric surfaces, borders and all-over textile layouts.
