EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Printed Calico" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. Captured by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, this image showcases a piece of printed calico cloth that was once used in the drapery and textile trade. The intricate design on the fabric is truly mesmerizing. A blue figure stands out against a vibrant red background, creating a striking contrast. The white pattern on the cloth was achieved through discharge printing, where certain areas were treated to remove color and create this elegant effect. To add even more visual interest, the same cloth has been dyed yellow, with black cover-printed lines completing another unique pattern. This versatile fabric would have undoubtedly caught the eye of both wholesale and retail customers in search of modern drapery options. As we admire this historic artifact from a private collection, it serves as a reminder of how textiles have played an essential role throughout history. From their practical use in clothing and home decor to their artistic value as works of art like this one captured by Bridgeman Images for Look and Learn magazine - they continue to shape our world today.
