Abstract
Welcome to The Cloth that Changed the World: India’s Painted and Printed Cottons. My name is Sarah Fee and I am the Royal Ontario Museum’s Curator for the Textile Arts of Africa and Asia. The objects in this exhibition are highlights from the ROM’s renowned collection of Indian painted and printed cottons. Most pieces have not been displayed since the 1970s. The show also includes twelve objects borrowed from international collections, and never before exhibited in Canada.
期刊介绍:
Textile History is an internationally recognised, peer reviewed journal and one of the leading publications in its field. It is viewed as an important outlet for current research. Published in the spring and autumn of each year, its remit has always been to facilitate the publication of high-quality research and discussion in all aspects of scholarship arising from the history of textiles and dress. Since its foundation the scope of the journal has been substantially expanded to include articles dealing with aspects of the cultural and social history of apparel and textiles, as well as issues arising from the exhibition, preservation and interpretation of historic textiles or clothing.
