Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. About The Book: This book includes original reports sent to the Government of India and the State of Kashmir, providing an accurate account of sericulture operations in Kashmir. The reports offer valuable technical and practical information for establishing successful sericulture operations across India and its colonies. They represent the author's work in Kashmir over the past seven years, successfully establishing a new industry in the region. The author reprints a conference report from 1886 held in Calcutta to highlight suggestions and important information about sericulture in Bengal and the production of Tussur Silk in India. Emphasizing the increasing demand for Tussur Silk in Europe and America, the author stresses the need for scientific sericulture in the Tussur districts of the Central Provinces. Due to smaller cocoons and high mortality rates caused by diseases, the industry in this region has declined. The author proposes allowing natives to collect suitable cocoons for breeding from the forests and stresses the importance of establishing a Central Imperial Sericicultural Station in India, similar to those in France and Italy, to prevent silkworm disease and teach microscopic manipulation techniques. The latter part of the book recounts the author's experiences in natural history and sport, including geological exploration in the Himalayas. The author expresses gratitude to the Princess of Wales for allowing the dedication, as she actively supports the silk industries and serves as the President of the Ladies' National Silk Association. Additionally, the author acknowledges Geoffrey Millais for the use of photographs and Miss Elinor Watdle for providing fossil drawings. Special thanks are given to Miss K. Lowe for valuable assistance in revising and correcting proofs. About The Author: Sir Thomas Wardle (18311909) was an esteemed British entrepreneur recognized for his pioneering contributions to silk dyeing and silk printing. He formed a union with renowned fabric artist Elizabeth Wardle as her spouse. Notably, Wardle engaged in a fruitful collaboration with designer William Morris, who visited his dyeworks in Leek, Staffordshire to acquire knowledge on the application of natural dyes. In acknowledgment of his invaluable services to the silk industry, Queen Victoria bestowed upon him the distinguished honor of knighthood.
