Based on the Japanese art of Katazome and more commonly referred to as screen printing, Serigraphy has come a long way since the days of ancient Japan. In the 1900s it was patented in England and its first commercial use came in 1914 by John Pilsworth in the United States.
Screen printing reached new heights in popularity during the First World War because of its ability to print multi-layered images on items such as flags and patriotic banners several times.
