A well-regarded early Soviet practical and historical guide to textile ornamentation, issued by the prestigious Academia publishing house under the general editorship of Nikolai Sobolev, the leading Soviet authority on decorative and applied art of the period. Written by Tamara Armand, the book surveys ornament and pattern across historical styles and world textile traditions, including chapters on Persian, Arabic, and Indian ornament, and on the relationship between style and costume from antiquity through the eighteenth century, before turning in its second half to practical technique: dyes, methods for batik and tie-dye ("bandan"), stencil work, airbrushing, and the preparation and fixing of colors on silk, cotton, linen, and artificial-silk fabrics. The volume is illustrated throughout with black-and-white line drawings of historical ornament and with several vivid color plates reproducing hand-painted textile designs. As a rare Academia imprint devoted specifically to textile arts and craft technique, in contrast to the publisher's better-known literary and academic series, it holds particular interest for collectors of Russian applied and decorative arts, textile and costume history, and the history of the batik revival in early Soviet design education.
