Recherches sur l'impression des toiles dites "indiennes" a Troyes (1766-1828)

Morin, Louis · 1913 · Troyes : Impr. p. Nouel & J.-L. Paton Réunies · 3 pictures

Louis Morin's 1913 study, printed in Troyes, examines the printing of so-called Indian cottons in that French town between 1766 and 1828, a record aimed at textile historians and printers. The three plates show floral borders, a scalloped corner design with stylised flowers, and dense black-and-white repeat patterns of blossoms and leaves, offering designers period models for block-printed fabric borders, scallops and all-over florals.
