Printed Fabric Historic Period Theme: Animal Skins
The animal patterns appeared on the theme of textile design since ancient Egypt and gave a mysterious and symbolic feeling. However, patterns designed in animal themes of the 19th and 20th centuries were cute, exotic, or graceful.
Prior to World War II, people's lives were related to rural areas, and there were many livestock species such as sheep, pigs, and cows in textile design. Printed fabric designers then express the look of animals more romantically and elegantly.
