About the book >.>.> The student of 1955 is in a position to judge how far we have progressed since then and in what direction-may even wonder perhaps if we have progressed at all. If our readers should feel bored with theoretical questions of this nature they may find their interest quickened and perhaps their doubts resolved by turning at once to the illustrations we provide arranged in chronological order of Carpets Printed and Woven Fabrics and Wall-coverings produced during a CENTURY OF BRITISH FABRICS from 1850 to 1950. Despite some original misgiving in the planning of this book it being thought in ght in some quarters that as the century was considered uninteresting the period should have covered two hundred years we have adhered to our intention. The glories of the past culminating in the perfection of the eighteenth century are familiar and have been well illustrated in many a volume. We prefer to present the glories whatever the future holds for the designer of the present age since of fabrics must grow out of the achievements. (LL)
