1740s Fabric Design

Fabric printing in the 1740s relied on three key techniques: block printing, roller printing, and copperplate printing. Cotton and linen were the most commonly used textiles, with Indian cotton being especially prized for its fine quality and vibrant colors. Designs often featured intricate floral and botanical motifs, reflecting the influence of Rococo aesthetics. These evolving printing methods helped create richly detailed fabrics that were highly fashionable during the period.
