The cross-cultural usage of a particular cloth type – blueprint - is central to South African cultural history. Known as seshoeshoe or isishweshwe, South African blueprint originated in the Far East and East Asia. In this beautifully illustrated book Juliette Leeb-du Toit traces the origins of the cloth, its early usage and cultural adaptations, and its emerging regional, cultural and aesthetic significance.
