EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and colorful print showcases a fine cotton turban sample from Jeypoor in Rajpootana, taken from The Collection of the Textile Manufacturers of India. Published in 1866 by John Forbes Watson, this mixed media artwork provides a glimpse into the rich textile industry of 19th century India. The intricate design and vivid repeating pattern on the turban sample are truly captivating. It reflects the skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail that were characteristic of Indian textiles during this era. The use of vibrant colors adds an element of liveliness and energy to the piece, making it visually striking. Jeypoor, also known as Jaypur or Jaipur, is renowned for its exquisite textiles and traditional techniques. This turban sample exemplifies the beauty and elegance associated with Rajputana's textile heritage. John Forbes Watson's publication was a significant contribution to documenting Indian textiles at that time. His work involved collecting samples from various sources, including the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1855. As a Reporter on the Products of India at the India Museum, he played an instrumental role in preserving these valuable artifacts for future generations. Displayed at Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK, this print offers viewers a glimpse into South East Asia's rich cultural history through its stunning textile artistry.
