TEXTIL F-89161

Bamboo Bird Aqua/Teal

“The idea for this pattern derives from an eighteenth-century hand- painted Indian palampore (cotton hanging) in the Victoria and Albert Museum. This was reproduced as Plate 11 in George Percival Baker's lavish 1921 publication Calico Painting and Printing in the East Indies. It must have been a particular favourite with George Percival, as his own extensive collection did not contain a 'transitional' pattern of this nature. Thus it is not surprising that the designer Burn was asked in 1915 to adapt the main motifs and arrangement of the palampore into a block print which was called 'Indian Bamboo'. Burn was faced with the task of reducing a large painterly panel composition into a repeating pattern, and he chose to give the design more symmetry in keeping with the repeat size. Amazingly, it preserves all the flavour of the Indian original.”
