"Batiks, and how to make them" by Pieter Mijer is a how-to guide from 1921 that teaches the age-old art of batik-making. The book explores the craft which originated in Java and its evolution into a beloved art. It's a method of dyeing textiles using wax. The book takes you through the history of Batik, the required instruments, preparation, and the execution of the process. Pieter explores the tjantings (wax applicators), dyeing processes, and proper temperature management. It goes into the cultural importance of colors and patterns, and it is more than just a manual; it explores the social and artistic dimensions of the craft.
