EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the fascinating process of calico printing, both by hand and machine. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases a historical moment in trade and commerce. In the image, we see workers diligently engaged in various stages of calico printing. The cloth is first bleached to achieve a pristine white state before being washed and piled up in large pits. In the background, rows of drying machines can be seen, indicating the scale at which this operation was carried out. The department floor is filled with workers meticulously operating hand-printing blocks and carefully inking them for precise patterns on the fabric. Bordered casement cloths are displayed as examples of printed fabrics that were produced during this era. The scene exudes a sense of industry as printers work tirelessly on their beds, ensuring every detail is perfect. This snapshot from the 1920s provides us with a glimpse into how calico printing was conducted during that time period. With its rich history and significance to trade, this photograph serves as a reminder of how far technology has advanced since then while also honoring the craftsmanship involved in traditional methods.
