Monographs on the tusser and other wild silks of India, descriptive of the objects and specimens exhibited in the India section of the Paris Exhibition: and on the dyestuffs and tannin matters of India and their native uses, descriptive of the collection in the India section of the Paris Exhibition
A British government monograph by Thomas Wardle, published in 1878, cataloguing Indian wild silks and dyestuffs shown at the Paris Exposition Universelle for an audience of trade officials and textile manufacturers. The single picture is a heraldic royal arms engraving with a crowned lion and unicorn flanking a shield, with the motto Dieu et mon droit and Qui mal y pense. A designer might take from it the formal symmetry of supporters, shield and scroll banners for official emblems.
