EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cotton Check, Masulipatam, Madras, Piece Goods" takes us back to the 19th century in India. The piece showcases a stunning mix of textiles and patterns that were collected by John Forbes Watson for his book "The Collection of the Textile Manufacturers of India" published in 1866. The image displays a variety of fabric swatches featuring intricate check designs made from cotton. These monochrome samples highlight the rich diversity and craftsmanship found in Indian textiles during that era. Each pattern tells a unique story, representing the cultural heritage and artistic traditions prevalent at the time. John Forbes Watson's work was instrumental in documenting and preserving these valuable textile samples. As a Reporter on the Products of India at the India Museum, he meticulously curated eighteen volumes containing seven hundred different fabrics from across South East Asia. Many of these samples were sourced from the Paris Exposition Universelle held in 1855. Displayed at Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind these exquisite pieces. It serves as a testament to both Indian artistry and Forbes Watson's dedication to showcasing their brilliance. Through this artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported into a world where fabric becomes art—a visual feast for anyone who appreciates design and history alike.
