It is an irony that the study of textile design history is impeded by the very ubiquity of design, and consequently its tendency to be held as tacit, and overlooked. In fifty years of Textile History, the topic of design has been more likely to appear incidentally in the body of an article than as its subject. For example, Fiona Kerlogue (TH 28-2: 151) mentions in passing the influence of traded Indian patolas on the patterns of Sumatran ikat textiles within an article devoted to the East India Company trade at Jambi. And while the importance of design to success in textile manufacture is commonly acknowledged, its nature is rarely elucidated. Vanessa Habib (TH 28-2: 164), quoting the Edinburgh Advertiser of 24 April 1764, cites the intention of William Cheape to improve Edinburgh’s Scotch carpet manufacture with “all due attention to the improvement of the patterns” but what might have constituted such improvement is a difficult matter to extricate.
