To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
three pantantos Curtins and vallens . . . one paire of Green searge Curtins and vallens . . . one pantado Tablecloth."''^ This is an example of a household which used "pintados" or gaudy India painted cottons, not once, but four times on beds, and also as a table cover. India painted cottons were wildly popular, and had been imported into England since the beginning of the seventeenth century. They eventually became part of the re-export trade to the American colonies. When an English act forbi...dding the importation, use, and wear of India painted cottons was passed in 1700, due to their effect on consumption of other household fabrics, their re-exportation was allowed. Embargoes did not stop England from loving and trying to imitate the cheerful fabric. English experiments in block printing with fast dyes resulted in mastery of the technique of printing brown, black, purple, and red by the beginning of the eighteenth century. Indian calico was used for the printing. In 1721, another English law was passed, answering again to the 54 MESDA worried clamor of other textile producers.
