First edition, Folio, original printed wrappers, very good and internally unmarked, bright texts. Calcutta, 1872 An extremely rare and comprehensive account of the diverse regional silk production hubs in contemporary British India. The publication chronicles comprehensive efforts to improve production and quality of raw silk, particularly the East India Company's attempts to introduce mechanized silk filatures in Bengal to compete with European markets. The East India Company struggled to modernize production, as Indian artisans were often reluctant to adopt new, mechanized filature technologies and emphasized traditional, handicraft-based procedures for silk weaving. The work highlights the evolution of Indian sericulture and the challenges of industrializing traditional production methods in the 18th and 19th centuries and is considered a true testament of Indian silk and textile production in British India.
