EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a piece of history from the textile industry in India. Titled "Coarse Cotton, Benares" this image is part of The Collection of the Textile Manufacturers of India, compiled by John Forbes Watson and published in 1866. The mixed media artwork captures the essence of Indian craftsmanship during the 19th century. It was created by an artist from the Indian School, whose name unfortunately remains unknown. Preserved at the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK, this print offers a glimpse into a rich cultural heritage. John Forbes Watson dedicated himself to documenting textiles from various regions across South East Asia. His extensive work resulted in eighteen volumes containing seven hundred samples that he collected primarily from the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1855. As a Reporter on the Products of India at the India Museum, Forbes Watson played a crucial role in preserving these valuable artifacts for future generations to appreciate. The Coarse Cotton sample featured here exhibits intricate patterns and designs that reflect traditional Indian aesthetics. This swatch serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact that allows us to explore India's vibrant textile traditions. Bridgeman Images has made this remarkable photograph available through Fine Art Finder, ensuring its accessibility for art enthusiasts worldwide who can now admire and study this exceptional representation of Indian fabric artistry.
