EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the Indian Collection of the Great Exhibition in 1851, where the world was introduced to the rich and diverse artistic traditions of the Indian subcontinent. The image showcases a selection of ornaments from embroidered and woven fabrics, as well as paintings on vases, which were later displayed at the South Kensington Museum. Owen Jones, a renowned British architect and designer, was instrumental in the creation of the Indian Exhibition and the subsequent establishment of the South Kensington Museum, now known as the Victoria and Albert Museum. Jones' organic and decorative designs, inspired by the intricate patterns and motifs of Indian art, significantly influenced the Arts and Crafts movement in Europe. The photograph reveals a stunning array of geometric shapes, squares, and intricate borders, all adorned with delicate floral and leaf motifs. The embroidered fabrics, with their vibrant colors and meticulous stitching, are a testament to the skill and artistry of Indian craftspeople. The woven textiles, with their intricate patterns and subtle color palettes, display the richness and diversity of Indian textile traditions. The vases, adorned with exquisite paintings, add a touch of elegance and refinement to the display. The floral and leaf motifs, rendered in bold strokes and rich colors, are reminiscent of the natural beauty of the Indian landscape. The ornate borders, with their intricate geometric patterns, add a sense of harmony and balance to the overall composition. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the historical significance of the Indian Collection at the Great Exhibition and the South Kensington Museum, and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Indian art on European design and culture.
