notes: label: Description
content: Section of printed silk warp. The warp ends are laid parallel to form a band 16" wide, upon which is printed a scattered floral motif. Given by H.R. Mallinson & Co. to illustrate the process of making a warp-printed silk. The characteristic 'water-color' or 'fuzzy' edges of a finished textile in which the design is printed on the warp threads before weaving is most prominent in plain woven fabrics. Another example donated by the company (T0567.A and .B) have plain woven bands with the printed warps extending below, to show the process more clearly.
