The literature upon textile dyeing technique, including the tie-dye and batik methods, is widely scattered in a large number of periodicals and books, many of which are no longer available or do not appear in English. This book offers a concise history of man's attempts to dye, and pattern by dyeing, the textiles he made from the raw materials available to him. Despite the conditions reflected in an early papyrus which stated that the hands of the dyer reek like rotting fish and his eyes are overcome by weariness, the development of dyeing techniques persisted from earliest known civilizations to the present day. As man discovered new natural fibers, and later synthetic fibers, so he invented new dyes and dyeing methods.  Dyeing became a prosperous trade and the concern of governments, with the result that technical and social innovation began to develop more quickly. This development is described here in considerable detail.  Sections are devoted to the many forms of tie-dye and batik practiced in various parts of the world from early times. Since this book, in common with its companion volume, is intended as a source book for students preparing special studies on dyed textiles, an exceptional feature is the provision of a number of comprehensive appendices of information for further research.

This is the first book in English to explore the fascinating story of man's attempts to print patterns on cloth. Previously the material has been available only in various articles, journals and books, which are mainly in foreign languages or long out of print. To remedy this situation a great deal of material is presented here, which traces the technical and social development of the craft in a most readable manner. Relevant contemporary comment from earliest times to the trends of Carnaby Street and the King's Road is also included.  Among the topics covered are the earliest forms of printed textiles; bark cloths; discharge, resist and negative printing; painted cloths; the development of block, plate, roller and screen printing in Europe, America and other areas.  Since, in common with its companion volume upon the History of Dyed Textiles, the book is also intended as a source book for students preparing special studies upon printed textiles, an exceptional feature is the provision of a number of comprehensive appendices of information for further research. These include a full, annotated bibliography; a list of museums with collections of textiles; libraries carrying specialized sections dealing with textiles; and useful trade and professional organizations.  The numerous illustrations in color and black and white have been specially selected to show the methods and examples of printed textiles of all periods.

Charles T. Branford

Stuart Robinson was a prominent Presbyterian newspaper editor who took upon himself the dangerous task of distinguishing between the spiritual world and within a border state "city of conflict" during the Civil War.
Presently, historians tend to depict religion during the American Civil War as domesticated under sectional nationalism -- where theologizing was directed at justifying the war in order to forge either a northern or southern Zion. Graham argues that such one-sided depictions do not sufficiently account for either the existence of a border state phenomenon during the civil war or the kind of theologizing that was being propagated from out of the border states against the domestication of religion to sectional politics.
In A Kingdom Not of This World: Stuart Robinson's Struggle to Distinguish the Sacred from the Secular During the Civil War Preston D. Graham, Jr. presents a case study of a rather sizeable movement among border state Presbyterians, with special attention given to their most celebrated and influential leader, the Dr. Rev. Stuart Robinson of Louisville, Kentucky. Given the significance of Robinson's theologizing relative to the American doctrine of the separation of church and state, several primary resources are included in a reader portion of the appendix.
