Calico printing played a fundamental role in the process of European industrialisation and the growth of commerce in the eighteenth century. Its precise contribution to these processes has never been thoroughly explored. The aim of this book is to analyse and assess its role in full. This book will be of particular interest to those concerned with the history of economics, sociology and art. The general reader too will find here an absorbing account of two celebrated families in England and France.
