An article on the history of printed cotton (toile de Jouy and Indiennes) in eighteenth-century France. It traces the import bans on East Indian prints, the founding of Oberkampf's factory at Jouy-en-Josas in 1760, and the work of designer J. B. Huet. It covers block and copperplate printing, and prints commemorating balloon ascents and the Revolution, with four illustrated examples. It ends with the neo-classical designs of the Empire period and the decline after 1818.
