The Book of Printed Fabrics published by Taschen
The Book of Printed Fabrics published by Taschen
The Book of Printed Fabrics traces the history of printed textiles from Indian origins through European manufacture and into modern design, using museum collections to follow motifs, technologies, color, and the changing relationship between industry and decoration.
“The point that stays with me is that pattern becomes much more useful once its technical and historical lineage is visible. It gives the volume a reason to be opened, not simply displayed.”
-Mrs. Mayfair
