Katherine B. Brett describes a large scrapbook of over seventy Indian painted and dyed cotton chintzes, assembled by the Parisian dealers Jacques and Arthur Martin and owned by Miss Josephine Howell. The introduction covers the 18th-century European bans on and fashion for Indian chintz, the East India Company trade, and the madder, mordant and indigo resist dyeing process. Twelve plates reproduce pieces from the Coromandel Coast, followed by catalog notes on forty-two pieces giving date, region, design, dimensions, colours and comparable pieces in the Royal Ontario Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
