In this talk, we will explore the origins, locations, and people of the calico printing trade prior to the 1840s, and also how the industry subsequently developed and migrated across the London area. We will also consider printing methods, the evolution of machinery, and the materials used in the process.
To support further research, a range of sources and illustrations will be provided, helping to guide those interested in discovering more about the calico printing trade.
