Book Description
Technical inventions show slow but massive infiltration from east to west throughout the first fourteen centuries.. Until the 15th century, Western European technology may be said to have been less advanced than that of other Old World regions. The transfer of Far-eastern know-how continued in modern times, and among the latecomers textile-printing had a major impact as a primer of the Industrial Revolution. The fast and bright colors of chintz elicited the Indian craze in fashion, causing a permanent shortage of cotton-yarn ending up in the invention of spinning machines. It took up to a hundred years until textile printing established itself in Europe and - in accordance with the general trend - led to the mechanization of the process by Th. Bell's famous roller-printing equipment (1783). In contrast to earlier transfer-stories this one took place in the lime-light of historical documents.

Book Description
The Winterthur Museum’s richly illustrated history of British and American fabrics made or used from 1700–1850 is a visual reference for designers and a definitive contribution to textile studies. From slipcovers that belonged to George Washington, to bedhangings described by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Delaware’s Winterthur Museum holds some of the finest cotton and linen textiles made or used in America and Britain between 1700 and 1850. One of the fastest growing and potentially most lucrative trades in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, on the forefront of developments in science and engineering, chemistry and technology, the textile industry is a fascinating lens into international trade relations and cultural exchange over nearly two centuries. Printed Textiles is a major update to the classic text published by Winterthur in 1970—a sourcebook compiled by celebrated curator Florence Montgomery that detailed all aspects of the fabrics’ lifespan, from their design and method of manufacture to their use and exchange value. Linda Eaton, Director of Collections and Senior Curator of Textiles, updates the classic with a particular focus on furnishing fabrics—referred to as “furnitures.” Building on research that has come to light since 1970 and benefiting from the technical and scientific expertise of the conservators and scientists at Winterthur, Eaton presents a thorough and sweeping study enriched by the diverse approaches to material culture today. With hundreds of beautifully photographed samples—engagingly contextualized with iconic figures in American history including Betsy Ross and Benjamin Franklin—this significant addition to textile scholarship allows for a full appreciation of these fascinating fabrics. Printed Textiles is destined to become an essential reference for interior designers, fashion and textile design students, conservators, collectors, and anyone with an interest in the textile industry.
