This publication introduces a wide range of readers to unique hand-printed fabrics from the collections of the Ivanovo Museum of History and Local Lore named after D. G. Burylin, one of the richest textile collections in Russia. The foundation of the collection was laid by Ivanovo manufacturer and philanthropist Dmitry Gennadyevich Burylin, whose name the museum bears today.
The authors focus on the hand-printing technology that was practiced in Ivanovo, Kokhma, and Voznesensky Posad from the late 17th to the second half of the 19th century. The book traces the evolution of the textile industry: from the first peasant workshops to the heyday of the textile industry, when hand-printing coexisted with mechanical printing, preserving its unique artistic expression.
Based on a study of authentic specimens from the museum collection, the authors explore the technological process—from the composition of the fabrics and their preparation for printing to the tools and dye formulations. Of particular value is the fact that many of the published materials have not previously been published in scholarly circulation.
The work includes a directory of textile manufacturers in the village of Ivanovo and the surrounding area.
The book is addressed to historians, art historians, collectors, artists, and a wide range of readers interested in the history of textiles and Russian decorative and applied arts.
