Excerpt from Calico Engraving: A Practical d104-Book for Students, Designers, and All Engaged, in the d104ile Industry The subject of engraving from its breadth and comprehensiveness is one that is applied to many industries, and text-books are provided dealing with some of its phases, but it is not within the knowledge of the writer that the important branch of the d104ile Industry has been treated in English literature even in an elementary manner. The absence of such a text-book has been felt, and frequently remarked upon by students of the subject, as well as the highly skilled body of designers whose work forms so important a feature in promoting the interests of the manufacture of calico. Emboldened by numerous requests in this direction, the author has here ventured to extend the lectures delivered by him on Engraving design for Calico at the Royal Technical College, Glasgow, in the hope that this book will prove instructive, not only to the artisan directly engaged in the business, but also all those who have an influence on the Calico trade. As will be noticed the technicalities of the subject have been entered into rather fully. I have pleasure in expressing my indebtedness to those who assisted in preparing some of the illustrations, and to George Moulton, Ltd., Manchester, who kindly supplied the blocks of the principal machines; also to the publishers for their advice and consideration.
