A sample book of Indian textiles compiled in 1873 under J. Forbes Watson, issued by the India Museum in London as a reference for colonial manufactures and trade. The four pictures are small swatches and printed cloth lengths in plaid and check weaves, with maroon, cream, navy and red stripes. A designer could draw on their tartan-like grids and stripe combinations, which were woven and printed in Indian cloth.
