EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coarse cotton sample with a mesmerizing chetee (chintz) pattern from Arcot in Madras. Taken from the renowned collection of the Textile Manufacturers of India, this particular piece was featured in John Forbes Watson's publication in 1866. The Indian School, dating back to the 19th century, is credited for creating this mixed media artwork. John Forbes Watson dedicated his efforts to compile an impressive eighteen-volume series that encompassed seven hundred textile samples originating from what was then known as India. These textiles now represent various regions across Southeast Asia. Most of these samples were obtained during the Paris Exposition Universelle held in 1855. The fabric depicted in this image served multiple purposes, including lining tents and manufacturing piece goods. Its intricate floral motif adds an elegant touch to its overall design, making it truly remarkable. Displayed at the Harris Museum and Art Gallery located in Preston, Lancashire, UK; this photograph captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of Indian textiles. Bridgeman Images has preserved this stunning representation of Asian craftsmanship for all art enthusiasts to admire.
