An article on painted and dyed cotton chintzes made on India's Coromandel coast for the European market around 1730. It first surveys the European East India Companies (Dutch, English, French, Danish, Portuguese) and the textile regions of India, then analyses five chintz hangings and bedcovers in museum collections. The analysis covers design, hybrid Indian and European motifs, costume dating, colours, mordant and resist dyeing, and chay-root reds. Illustrated with photographs and line drawings, with footnotes and a bibliography.
