EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning cotton bed-cover sample from Shikarpore in Sind, dating back to the 19th century. The intricate design and vibrant colors of this textile masterpiece are truly mesmerizing. Originally featured in "The Collection of the Textile Manufacturers of India" by John Forbes Watson, published in 1866, this piece represents the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Pakistani textiles. It is now housed at the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK. The floral motif border adds an elegant touch to this bed cover, while the bold red hues create a striking contrast against the colorful flowers that adorn its surface. This exquisite creation reflects the skillful artistry and attention to detail prevalent in South East Asian textiles during that era. John Forbes Watson's dedication to documenting Indian textiles resulted in eighteen volumes containing seven hundred samples, many of which were sourced from the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1855. As a Reporter on Products of India at the India Museum, he played a pivotal role in preserving these invaluable pieces for future generations. This photograph not only celebrates Pakistan's rich textile industry but also serves as a reminder of our shared cultural heritage across borders. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire awe and appreciation for traditional craftsmanship even today.
