Synopsis
Excerpt from Colonial and Indian Exhibition: Royal Commission and Government of India Silk Culture Court; Descriptive Catalogue
The Indians, like the Chinese and Japanese, have never cared so much for what in Europe is termed excellence of quality, which means for the most part mechanical regularity in texture and pattern, and although they have had to weave with threads often much varying in regularity and thickness, yet they have down to today managed somehow or other, if they have had a pattern to weave, to put, so to speak, soul into it, and to raise it above the commonplace fabrics so often produced in modern Europe.
For ages, and so long as they continued to use the natural colours which they obtained from their own beautiful dye-stuffs, coupled with an ingenious and traditional taste, they never could go very far wrong in colour. It is now impossible to observe without great regret in passing through India how the love of the modern brilliant European dyes has affected, to a serious degree, the products of the native loom of today.
