Text Appearing Before Image:
In 1700 the importation of the realarticle from India was prohibited by Parliament in order to protectand encourage the home manufacturer. In France not only theimported but also the domestic indiennes were prohibited until 1759,so that the development of French printing on linens and cottons onlybecame important then. Plinys is not the only evidence as to the early use of paintedcloths in the Mediterranean countries. Herodotus says that theCaucasians wore garments into which representations of animals hadbeen dyed so as to be tub-fast. Fragments of cloth from Achmim, inEgypt, about three centuries later than Pliny, show patterns andfigure subjects stamped from blocks (Plate IV). Especially inter-esting is a block-printed cotton from the grave of Bishop Caesarius,who was buried at Aries, near Marseilles, A. D. 543. An especiallyimportant fragment is that found in an ancient tomb at Quedlim-burg, in Germany, which Dr. Lessing called Sassanid-Persian of thesixth or seventh century. 332
