Two hundred designs, many of them by the foremost designers of our day, are provided for use , and there are sixty line drawings showing in clear detail the steps of the various operations.  Included also is a sketch of the history of the stenciling craft, from ancient China and India, up through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, to Colonial, Victorian, and modern America.
