Louis de Meulenerre, Bruxelles). First edition.Marguerite Pangon (1872-1969) was a French textile designer who imported the technique of Javanese batik to France. When she visited the Paris Exposition in 1900 she discovered batik through the Dutch who had brought it back from Indonesia. Batik refers to the technically and artistically demanding tradition of wax-resist dyeing as well as the cloth made using the technique. Pangon started her own fashion studio in the 1910s and became the first to introduce the French public to "Le Batik Français". The design was slightly adjusted to fit European tastes and she produced fabrics such as upholstery, crêpe, velvet, silk, etc. A wonderful copy of this rare album with beautiful plates depicting designs for clothing, shawls, carpets, curtains, etc.
