Description:
The Indian state of West Bengal has a rich and living tradition of handicrafts. Primarily folk in character, they include a sophisticated tradition of textile manufacture that reached and continues to maintain a high level of excellence. The fame of Bengal's textiles first attracted the British East India Company, and ultimately led to the subjugation of this state - and the India subcontinent - to British rule. This book captures the variety and vitality of Bengal's crafts and the range of their creative expression.
