An Old Book of Shadowed Patterns: Stripe and Plaid Variants

early twentieth century
when closed: 9 1/2" x 13 3/4", 24 cm x 35 cm

This is a hand bound book of wood block printed designs based around the idea of (mainly) stripes.

Within this book there are many inventive variations on the idea of stripes, showing 60 designs over 10 pages.

Each of the 60 wood block printed designs--there are six to a page--are shown in an unusual "shadowed" presentation, thus enhancing and showcasing each design.

The book is in good, used condition and with its lovely hand binding is a wonderful design research tool and a beautiful thing to own.

Recommended.
