Roller-printing on textiles had been introduced in the late 18th century,and at first it was used mainly for small-patterned dress fabrics. By the time this cotton was printed in about 1816 the technique had been developed for much larger-scale designs, and by the 1830s roller-printing had largely replaced block-printing in the production of fashionable furnishing fabrics.<br><br><b>People</b><br>Many of the engravers of metal roller-plates were skilled draughtsmen. This design was engraved by a Mr Sutherland from the firm of Joseph Lockett. Lockett himself was one of the finest engravers working in the English industry in the first half of the 19th century.<br><br><b>Place</b><br>Most of the leading printworks in the London area had closed down by the beginning of the 19th century, and the centre of the textile printing industry had shifted to Lancashire, where this cotton was printed, and to Carlisle in Cumbria.","physicalDescription":"Cotton furnishing fabric roller-printed in red with a design of Britannia riding in her chariot alongside other classical goddesses, surrounded by animals and natural motifs","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Lockett, Joseph","id":"A8623"},"association":{"text":"printers","id":"x31107"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Palfreyman, George","id":"A8713"},"association":{"text":"retailer","id":"AAT25246"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"cotton (textile)","id":"AAT14067"}],"techniques":[{"text":"roller-printing","id":"x33305"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Roller-printed cotton","categories":[{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Furnishing fabrics","id":"THES280526"},{"text":"Interiors","id":"THES48933"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2006AH0321","2012FM2956","2018KY0100"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"120 (VA)","id":"THES49226"},"free":"","case":"CA11","shelf":"","box":"12"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Furnishing","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Manchester","id":"x28993"},"association":{"text":"manufactured","id":"x29350"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1816-1820","earliest":"1816-01-01","latest":"1820-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by the Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"180.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"66","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Dimensions checked: Measured; 31/01/2001 by Flora N","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Printed cotton furnishing fabric, 1816-1820, English, printed by Mr Sutherland of Joseph Lockett for George Palfreyman","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"British Galleries:\nBritannia riding in her chariot with her shield and trident is one of the main features on this printed furnishing fabric.
