CHINTZ St/WOOL/NCI
Men were once executed for the
crime of importing chintz curtains. In
the early part of the 18th century it
was forbidden to bring printed cottons
into England and France, or to manu-
facture them in these countries, and
many people Paid with their lives for
smuggling the contraband material.
A special exhibition in- one of the
textile galleries of the Royal Ontario .
Museum illustrates the history of
chintz, which may be a tay-at-home
material nowadays but has a highly
coloured past. Chintz came originally
from India and was one of the import-
ant articles of trade that the English,
Dutch and French East India Comp-
anies fought over, during the 17th and
18th centuries, Europe was thrilled
with the gay cottons from the East,
Chintz soon became so popular that
the linen, silk and wool merchants
were alarmed and brought pressure to
bear on the government which resulted
in the laws forbidding both the im-
portation and the making of chintz.
Tins simply increased the fashion for
it and eventually the authorities had
to withdraw their orders and make
way for the great modern cotton
printing industry.
The prospect was asked if he would
like a straight-life policy, He thought
for a minute and replied. "Well er, I
do like to step out once in a while."
