flock prints
flock prints. Prints imitating patterned velvet. They were evidently made by coating a
woodcut block with glue or paste instead of ink, impressing it on paper, and then sprinkling the paper with cloth shavings which adhered to the paste. Very few such prints exist, all made probably in south Germany in the third quarter of the 15th century; an example is
Christ on the Cross with the Virgin and St John in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. A similar process was used in the 17th and 18th centuries for wallpapers.
Tinsel prints are similar to flock prints but use tinsel (small fragments of sparkling metal) in place of cloth. The rare surviving examples are thought to date from
c.1430–60.
