Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Winterthur Museum’s richly illustrated history of British and American fabrics made or used from 1700–1850 is a visual reference for designers and a definitive contribution to textile studies. From slipcovers that belonged to George Washington, to bedhangings described by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Delaware’s Winterthur Museum holds some of the finest cotton and linen textiles made or used in America and Britain between 1700 and 1850. One of the fastest growing and potentially most lucrative trades in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, on the forefront of developments in science and engineering, chemistry and technology, the textile industry is a fascinating lens into international trade relations and cultural exchange over nearly two centuries. Printed Textiles is a major update to the classic text published by Winterthur in 1970—a sourcebook compiled by celebrated curator Florence Montgomery that detailed all aspects of the fabrics’ lifespan, from their design and method of manufacture to their use and exchange value. Linda Eaton, Director of Collections and Senior Curator of Textiles, updates the classic with a particular focus on furnishing fabrics—referred to as “furnitures.” Building on research that has come to light since 1970 and benefiting from the technical and scientific expertise of the conservators and scientists at Winterthur, Eaton presents a thorough and sweeping study enriched by the diverse approaches to material culture today. With hundreds of beautifully photographed samples—engagingly contextualized with iconic figures in American history including Betsy Ross and Benjamin Franklin—this significant addition to textile scholarship allows for a full appreciation of these fascinating fabrics. Printed Textiles is destined to become an essential reference for interior designers, fashion and textile design students, conservators, collectors, and anyone with an interest in the textile industry.
Book Synopsis Indian Block-printed Cotton Fragments in the Kelsey Museum, the University of Michigan by : Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Download or read book Indian Block-printed Cotton Fragments in the Kelsey Museum, the University of Michigan written by Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For centuries India has exported textiles both east and west, but there are few locations in which textiles have survived so long. One exception is Egypt, and from Egyptian excavations we have fragmentary evidence for medieval trade in Indian textiles." "The Kelsey Museum possesses an unusually varied collection of these textile fragments, and the fragments in this collection are published here for the first time. This volume features a catalog and extensive illustrations of the more than fifty pieces examined; in addition, the author provides an introduction that places the fragments in their historical and archaeological context, a redefinition of the kinds of textiles that should be grouped in this category, a discussion of the geographical sites commonly connected with such fragments, and an appendix that offers the first detailed technical analysis of the dyes, fibers, and mordants that textiles such as these display." "This book will be of interest to historians of textiles, of India and Islam, and to art historians, as well as to those concerned with pre-European and European trade in the Indian Ocean."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Silk and empire written by Brenda King and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Brenda M. King challenges the notion that Britain always exploited its empire. Creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship were all part of the Anglo-Indian silk trade and were nurtured in the era of empire through mutually beneficial collaboration. The trade operated within and without the empire, according to its own dictates and prospered in the face of increasing competition from China and Japan. King presents a new picture of the trade, where the strong links between Indian designs, the English silk industry and prominent members of the English the arts and crafts movement led to the production of beautiful and luxurious textiles. Lavishly illustrated, this book will be of interest to those interested in the relationship between the British Empire and the Indian subcontinent, as well as by historians of textiles and fashion.

Book Synopsis The Ottoman and Mughal Empires by : Suraiya Faroqhi
Download or read book The Ottoman and Mughal Empires written by Suraiya Faroqhi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, Ottomanist historians have been accustomed to study the Ottoman Empire and/or its constituent regions as entities insulated from the outside world, except when it came to 'campaigns and conquests' on the one hand, and 'incorporation into the European-dominated world economy' on the other. However, now many scholars have come to accept that the Ottoman Empire was one of the - not very numerous - long-lived 'world empires' that have emerged in history. This comparative social history compares the Ottoman to another of the great world empires, that of the Mughals in the Indian subcontinent, exploring source criticism, diversities in the linguistic and religious fields as political problems, and the fates of ordinary subjects including merchants, artisans, women and slaves.
