As you can see in the illustration, the colors of this reproduction cotton print are very close to their period counterparts--clear and strong without the harsh qualities that many modern colors can possess. The quality of the printing is equally excellent and the firmly woven smooth ground fabric both strengthen this material as an outstanding copy of a textile document. During the 18th century, prints like this were fashionable for clothing, as well as furnishings such as bed hangings, window curtains, whole cloth quilts, etc. |
