Primitive papermaking: an account of a Mexican sojourn and of a voyage to the Pacific islands in search of information, implements, and specimens relating to the making & decorating of bark-paper
[Detailed step-by-step descriptions of the indigenous processes of paper-making in various regions of the world including Mexico, Stanley Falls, Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Includes materials used, images of papermaking, and samples. The focus of this book is non-Western papermaking, in particular tapa, made from the pounding of inner barks. As the craft had already disappeared in some places he visited, some of the specimens were old. He travelled to Mexico, Hawaii, the East Indies, and many Pacific Islands.]
"It is not the intention in this book to treat of paper formed upon hand-moulds in any of the accepted Asiatic or European methods, but to give account of personal research in the formation of sheets by the process of directly beating the bark of trees into leaves of paper by the use of mallets or clubs in the hands of the native craftsmen."--P.10.
