Bonjour,

Description d'un papier peint.

"Its inspiration was the hand-blocked, flower-sprigged patterns of Victorian wallpapers."


Je sais que "hand blocked printing" veut dire imprimé à la main, mais dans cette phrase, il n'est pas fait mention de "printing". Est-ce sous-entendu ? Qu'en pensez-vous ?
Comment traduiriez-vous ?

merci !

imprimé à la main

Yes, that's right, the 'printed' is taken for granted; it was 'block printing', sometimes with large and amazingly intricate wooden blocks.
