EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bootee muslin sample embroidered with delicate spots from Dacca in Bengal. Published in 1866 by John Forbes Watson, this piece is part of The Collection of the Textile Manufacturers of India. The Indian School, known for its exquisite craftsmanship during the 19th century, created this mixed media artwork. The image depicts a fine fabric that was highly sought after in its time - muslin for dresses. With its intricate embroidery and vibrant colors, it exemplifies the rich heritage of the textile industry in South East Asia. The red and blue spotted pattern adds an element of playfulness to the otherwise elegant design. John Forbes Watson meticulously curated eighteen volumes containing seven hundred samples of textiles from India and other regions at that time. Many samples were sourced from the Paris Exposition Universelle held in 1855. As a Reporter on the Products of India at the India Museum, Forbes Watson played a crucial role in documenting these remarkable pieces. Displayed at Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK, this photograph offers us a glimpse into centuries-old craftsmanship that continues to inspire today's designers. It serves as a testament to both Bengali and Bangladeshi artistry while reminding us of their contribution to global textile traditions.
