EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant cotton scarf sample from Nurrapore in Sind, dating back to the 19th century. The exquisite craftsmanship and intricate design of this textile masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. Published in 1866 by John Forbes Watson, an eminent figure in the textile industry, this piece is part of his renowned collection known as "The Collection of the Textile Manufacturers of India". Comprising eighteen volumes with over seven hundred samples, Watson's collection offers a comprehensive glimpse into the rich heritage and artistic traditions of South East Asia. Many of these samples were acquired from the Paris Exposition Universelle held in 1855. The scarf, locally referred to as a kass in Sindh, features a mesmerizing repeating pattern that combines geometric shapes with an explosion of vivid colors. Its striking visual appeal makes it not only suitable for men's garments but also serves as a testament to the skill and creativity inherent within Pakistani textiles. Currently housed at the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK, this remarkable artifact continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. As we admire this stunning work through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate its historical significance and celebrate the enduring legacy of Asian textile artistry.
