Collection of specimens and illustrations of the textile manufactures of India. Second series, 0001-0064 / prepared under the direction of J. Forbes Watson
This is a sample book of Indian textiles compiled under J. Forbes Watson and issued by the India Museum in 1873, serving as a reference of regional cloth manufactures for trade and design study. The four pictures show woven and embroidered cloth strips, with chevron bands in red, ochre and cream, and sprigged motifs of pink and green flowers on olive and brown ground, suggesting striped and sprigged border patterns a designer could adapt for repeat layouts.
