Collection of specimens and illustrations of the textile manufactures of India. Second series, 0632-0691 / prepared under the direction of J. Forbes Watson
A sample book of textile specimens compiled in 1873 by J. Forbes Watson for the India Museum in London, recording cloth made across India for study by manufacturers and colonial administrators. The pictures are small swatches of woven cloth, mostly plaids and stripes in madder reds, blues, greens and natural cream, with visible warp and weft structure a designer could take as models for checks, tartans and woven stripe patterns.
