Talk:Woodblock printing on textiles

Start
This article was extracted and restructured from Textile printing. It needs a lot of cleanup to remove Edwardianism from the EB 1911 text. - PKM (talk) 04:40, 23 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Could be a B-class if only it had references. Durova Charge! 06:02, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No, because it is a very incomplete & I think often inaccurate (with present knowledge) account. AS EB it wouldn't need other refs; what it needs is redoing. It hardly mentions China and India, who are probably the oldest cultures to practice it, and, in the case of India, the main exporter for centuries, and the main country still to use the technique. The technique section is probably rather too specfic. Many/most of the historical statements are a long way from current scholarly understanding. I knocked it back to a start for these reasons. There is more accurate material on some aspects at woodblock printing, old master print and somewhere there is I think a longish old article on Indian exports to Europe.  I come at it from the woodblock printing angle, not the textile one, as it were. Johnbod (talk) 12:37, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Reverting my genuine edits
hi, i have made some genuine edits in this article but a user called is making vandalism and vandalizing all my edits  here and else where. This article lacks references, i have added references to show that earliest historical records of woodblock printing has been from india, im adding one more source to back this fact Link: http://www.beprimitive.com/LiteratureRetrieve.aspx?ID=139115. india had been wrongly omitted from the origin and there are unsourced claims of assyria, china and egypt to have been origins of woodblock printing. it is evident in this article that this technology went to china from india. Link: https://study.com/academy/lesson/textile-printing-history-techniques.html. this article clearly mentions india as the forebearer of woodblock printing and not assyria, i think all the unsourced information needs to be either backed by references, or omitted for false claims.

 * Note that bandying around accusations of vandalism is unwise. Your references show no such thing; they show that there was woodblock printing on textiles in India in 327 BC, not that that was first. I've moved the material back to the correct section, that dealing with the ancient world, which strongly suggests itself that the technique may have been used in Egypt in 1320 BC, almost a millenium before Alexander.
