EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases pages from a sample book dating back to 1890-95, featuring an array of exquisite textile and paper designs. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this historical artifact is now housed at The Geffrye Museum of the Home in London, UK. The sample book was originally crafted for the esteemed R. Dalglish Falconer Company Ltd of Manchester and Glasgow, serving as a valuable resource for their merchanting business. Spanning over six years, from November 1890 to 1896, this volume remained actively used until 1900 and contains a total of 164 pages. Each page within this remarkable book displays two swatches of roller printed textiles meticulously arranged alongside handwritten annotations. These annotations include design and client numbers, order details, and even information about export destinations. The fabrics showcased range from cotton to calico, duck to cretonne - predominantly comprising furnishing fabrics with intricate patterns inspired by landscapes and floral motifs. The royal blue hues dominate the background while navy blue handwriting adds a touch of elegance to each page. As we delve into these delicate pages filled with vibrant flowers and plant structures captured through stunning patterned textiles, we are transported back in time to witness not only the artistry but also gain insights into Victorian society's lifestyle and culture. This print serves as a testament to both the craftsmanship involved in creating these beautiful textiles as well as its significance in documenting historical material culture during that era.
