Selling Silks

Selling Silks

Lesley Ellis Miller

V A Publishing
2014
sidottu
In 1764, British Customs confiscated a book containing hundreds of silk samples of different qualities from French agents who were attempting to sell them illegally in London. The merchant's sample book acquired in 1972 by the V&A may be this very book, a fascinating record of the eighteenth-century French and English silk industries and their commercial practices. Alongside a full and faithful reproduction of the whole album, Lesley Miller sets in context the role of the book as a marketing tool from the premier European silk-weaving centre of Lyon and as a model for Spitalfields manufacturers. This publication makes accessible the contents of an extremely rare and fragile object. Translations of French inscriptions, identification of how samples have migrated from one page to another, and technical analysis of some of the silks, as well as a glossary and biographical data on the Lyonnais suppliers make this an invaluable resource for historians, collectors and designers.

Portraits in Silk

Portraits in Silk

Lesley Ellis Miller

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2023

French silk manufacturing reached its apogee in the eighteenth century, offering a dazzling and constantly evolving range of textiles made from the most exotic and costly combination of fibres for both domestic and international markets. In this competitive business and artistic environment some designers and manufacturers acquired substantial wealth and quasi mythical status, while others eked out a modest and largely anonymous existence. Drawing on a wide range of newly discovered archival and material evidence, this book offers a series of portraits of both the famous and the 'faceless' as a vehicle for evaluating the nature and status of the trade and the conditions under which its key participant flourished or failed. The life stories of seven men reveal the particularities and concerns of a society in transition, grounded in traditional guild organisation yet happy to exploit new commercial openings. The biographies afford insights into social hierarchies through investigation of the relationship between art and manufacturing, local and national networks, and reveal the 'culture' of commerce through an analysis of their 'enlightened' commercial education and continued interest in learning. They also demonstrate the vagaries of a freelance career in design, through analysis of the attractions, disappointments and rewards of industrial espionage and the mechanics of technological and aesthetic transfer. Combining elements of cultural, artistic and commercial history, this book provides a fascinating insight into one of the defining products of ancien regime France, and its contribution to eighteenth century society, trade and consumption.

The Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Colony Farm and the Creation of Japanese America

The Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Colony Farm and the Creation of Japanese America

sidottu
Japanese became the largest ethnic Asian group in the United States for most of the twentieth century and played a critical role in the expansion of agriculture in California and elsewhere. The first Japanese settlement occurred in 1869 when refugees fleeing the devastation in their Aizu Domain of the 1868 Boshin Civil War traveled to California in 1869 where they established the Wakamatsu Tea & Silk Colony Farm. Led by German arms dealer and entrepreneur John Henry Schnell, the Colony succeeded in its initial attempts to produce tea and silk, but financial problems, a severe drought, and tainted irrigation water forced the closure of the Colony in June 1871. While the Aizu colonists were unsuccessful in their endeavor, their departure from Japan as refugees, their goal of settling permanently in the United States, and their establishment of an agricultural colony was soon imitated by tens of thousands of Japanese immigrants. The Wakamatsu Colony was largely forgotten after its closure, but Japanese American historians rediscovered it in the 1920s and soon recognized it as the birthplace of Japanese America. They focused their attention on a young female colonist, Okei Ito, who died there weeks after the Colony shut down and whose grave rests on the property to this day. These writers transformed Okei-san into a pure and virtuous symbol who sacrificed her life to establish a foothold for future Japanese pioneers in California. Today many Japanese Americans regard the Wakamatsu Farm as their “Plymouth Rock” or Jamestown and have made it a major pilgrimage site. The American River Conservancy (ARC) purchased the Wakamatsu Farm property in 2010. ARC is restoring the site’s historic farm house and is working to protect the Farm’s extensive natural and cultural history.
