content: "Indienne" printed polychrome cotton fabric. Floral motifs are encircled in a scallop like pattern in shades of red, blue, green, yellow and olive. Probably late 18thC from Jouy, France. The pattern is both block printed and pencilled on a white ground and design elements are reminiscent of the ever popular Indian and Dutch East Indian painted palampores. The rage of Europe, these printed and painted cottons could not keep up with the demand .By the middle of the eighteenth century both England and France weredeveloping their own techniques, copper plate and roller printing, to produce imitations of these prints and calicoes.
