An article tracing the engravings that designers used as sources for the figure and animal motifs in 18th- and early 19th-century printed cottons, especially the toiles de Jouy made at Oberkampf's factory. It discusses the cartoons of Jean-Baptiste Huet and shows how figures were borrowed from Berchem, Rubens, Watteau, Boucher, Jacques Stella's Pastorales and Oudry's illustrations for La Fontaine's Fables. The text is a few pages, followed by sixteen plates that pair printed cotton details and cartoons with the engravings they drew on.
