Extracts from an Art Journal article by Lucie H. Armstrong on chintz and cretonne, reprinted in The Textile Mercury, 11 April 1891. It traces calico printing from antiquity and India to Europe, covers English duties and prohibitions, and discusses Victorian taste and William Morris's block-printed chintzes at Merton Abbey. It also mentions Hindley and Turnbull and Stockdale, with a design by Lewis F. Day. The two pages also hold unrelated trade news and market reports.
