From the seventeenth century, the brilliance and permanence of colour and the exotic nature of imported Asian textiles attracted European consumers.

This article aims to chart the rise of a European calico-printing industry in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries by analysing the knowledge transfer of textile-printing techniques from Asia to Europe.
