介绍（中）	这种经线印花的"影子丝绸"图案可能来自坎迪斯·惠勒职业生涯的后期，描绘了条纹背景上的苹果花。蓝色和白色条纹的规律性对于相关艺术家来说是不寻常的，他们经常使用蜿蜒的图案来掩盖机械印刷的重复性。条纹的杂色边缘抵消了更静态的图案，这些条纹引入了运动元素。条纹和花卉的结合让人想起 18 世纪的法国木版印刷棉，可能是有意识地参考了惠勒制作影子丝绸的方法的法国起源，以及惠勒在她职业生涯后期对历史悠久的欧洲装饰风格的兴趣。为了使这些织物采用特殊的经线印刷技术：经纱（垂直线）事先预先印有图案，当编织纯色水平纬线时，设计自然会略微错位。
介绍（英）	This warp-printed "shadow silk" pattern, likely from late in Candace Wheeler’s career, depicts apple blossoms over a background of stripes. The regularity of the blue and white stripes is unusual for Associated Artists, who often used meandering patterns to disguise the repetitive nature of mechanical printing. The more static pattern is counteracted by the variegated edges of the stripes which introduce an element of movement. The combination of stripes and florals is reminiscent of 18th-century French block-printed cottons, possibly a conscious reference to French origins of Wheeler’s method of creating shadow silks, as well as Wheeler’s interest in historical European styles of ornament later in her career. To make these fabrics a special warp-printing technique was employed: the warp (the vertical threads) was preprinted with the pattern beforehand, and when the solid-colored horizontal weft threads were woven in, the designs naturally fell slightly out of alignment.
