EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning printed cotton palampore or bed-cover sample from Masulipatam in Madras. The intricate design and vibrant colors of this textile masterpiece immediately catch the eye. Created by the Indian School in the 19th century, it is now housed at the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK. The detailed patterns on this palampore are truly mesmerizing. Delicate figures, reminiscent of soldiers and other male characters, adorn the fabric's surface. The border features an array of decorative elements that add to its ornate charm. This piece exemplifies the rich heritage and craftsmanship of India's textile industry. Published in 1866 by John Forbes Watson as part of his comprehensive collection titled "The Collection of Textile Manufacturers of India" this particular sample represents one among seven hundred textiles showcased within eighteen volumes. These samples were primarily sourced from the Paris Exposition Universelle held in 1855. John Forbes Watson dedicated himself to documenting and preserving these exquisite fabrics for future generations to appreciate their beauty and historical significance. His work as a Reporter on the Products of India at the India Museum allowed him access to a wide range of textiles from what was then known as India but now encompasses most parts of Southeast Asia. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary piece but also serves as a testament to centuries-old traditions passed down through generations within South Asian textile communities.
