Description

Explore the rich history of Indian textiles with Spinning Yarns by Routledge. This monograph examines the Bengal textile industry through the lens of John Taylor's 1801 report on Dacca cloth production. For centuries, Bengal textiles were highly sought after globally, earning praise from Romans as early as the first century AD. Travelers from China, Portugal, Arabia, and Persia all documented the beauty and delicacy of these fabrics. While demand for Bengal cloth saw a massive increase starting in the mid-seventeenth century, the industry faced a significant decline following the British conquest of Bengal in 1757. This book traces the historical journey of these textiles and provides a detailed look at the production landscape of the era.
