Article by Agnes J. Holden on Jean-Baptiste Huet (1745-1811), chief designer of copperplate-printed cotton toiles at Oberkampf's factory at Jouy from 1783 to 1811. It uses a Needle and Bobbin Club exhibition of 24 Huet toiles (February 1, 1939) to describe his three styles, his career, and Oberkampf and the Jouy factory. It includes 16 plates of toiles, a catalogue of the exhibited pieces with colors, dates and styles, a list of Huet's paintings and drawings in museums, and a bibliography of French and English works on printed cottons.
