Article · 22 pages
Article by Marianne Carlano on the 354 printed textile samples that Henri Clouzot sold or gave to the Pennsylvania (now Philadelphia) Museum of Art in 1929 and 1937. It covers the history of the acquisition, the French toiles from Jouy, Nantes, Rouen and Alsace, and the printing techniques (woodblock, copperplate, roller). Most attention goes to three early Dutch woodblock-printed and painted linens of about 1680, dated through close study of costume, hats, and motifs such as the stag, tulips, and chinoiserie. It closes with an English roller-printed Cossack design. Footnotes list Clouzot's writings and archival sources, and the article has twelve figures of textiles and related paintings.
