Swanti Kulshrestha iii THE COSTUMES OF EIGHTEENTH CENTURY AMBER-JAIPUR ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy In HISTORY SUBMITTED BY SWANTI KULSHRESTHA UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. SUMBUL HALIM KHAN (Associate Professor) DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH- 202002 (INDIA) 2019 Abstract ABSTRACT This topic intends to capture the world of colour, shape, ornament and fabric that belong to Jaipur costumes. The aim is to project what purport costumes fulfil, to what gender it belonged and the manner in which it was adorned. An investigation of costumes unleashes the standard of living of a particular echelon of society. It also reflects the panorama of culture. The usage and production of costume is due mainly to the nature of its economy. The major classic works on textile and costumes come to us in the shape of catalogue. The present thesis aims at co-ordinating these illustrative studies with the rich profusion of archival records housed in Rajasthan State Archive, Bikaner. These documents relate to medieval manufactories which produced textile and costumes such as Rangkhana, Chhapakhana, Ratangrah, Vastragrah and Silehkhana. Other records like Arhsatta, Kapad Dwar and Dastur Komwar supplement with supplying details of cotton production, town planning etc . The marvels of museums also abound. Textile was a thriving industry of Mughal India. History of textile gradually developed from lucid techniques of spinning, weaving, dying towards more complex processes of embellishment. The later multiplied with the course of time Textile and costume received desired patronage during Sultanate and Mughal Period. In the context of Jaipur, the foundation of Jaipur city lent a fillip to the demand of luxurious urban products, in general, and textile in particular. The process culminated in vibrant products of not only Jaipur but also Bagru and Sanganer textiles. The rich profusion of information pertaining to textile and the finished products of costumes has made us explore nature of fabric, their colouring, printing and decoration, designing of costumes as also organisation of the various artisans involved. We can broadly understand the varieties of textures of the fabrics, their composition, nomenclature of fabrics and costumes, which were used by Rajas ,and elite class of Amber in eighteenth century ,with the help of karkhanazat paper. We can also compare it with the wardrobe section of Ain-i-Akbari in order to understand resemblances and variations between the types of fabric used by the Amber Raja and the Mughals. 1 Abstract The nature of fabric can be classified into cotton, silk, mixed fabric like brocade Mashru and Sattinete, woollen and velvet. Due to the climatic condition of the area the cotton textile was most acceptable and favourable fabric. It was not costly hence easy to afford and easy to use and had wide variety in clothes too. This is also evident by available varieties of cotton fabric mentioned in our karkhanazat documents. The cotton industry contributed a lot to the enhancement of the economy of Mughal Empire. Similarly, it also contributed a lot in the economy of Jaipur state. The fabrics which were widely used in warm climate of Jaipur were cotton like alam, adhotra, khasa, mahmudi, panchtolna, sahan, srisaf and salu were main fabric used in Jaipur household. Its versatile collection indicates that it was popular too. The various graphics, from related catalogue, clearly facilitates our knowledge about the varieties of texture prevalent in our region. The cotton fabric was mostly beautified at Jaipur or Sanganer. It had wide varieties recorded, but the silk texture was mentioned in much larger quantity. The most popularly used variety was of mixed fabric. Most of the preserved fabrics of silk and mixed are from the area of Gujarat, some varieties are from the region of Bengal and Banaras etc. Colouring was carried with immense expertise from vegetable extracts, and, mineral source. The natural herbs recorded in the Rangkhana document are gulal (red powder), kesar (saffron), kusum (safflower), phitkari (alum), saji (vegetable), haldi (turmeric), pevrhi

  • Historic Costuming Presented by Jill Harrison
    Historic Southern Indiana Interpretation Workshop, March 2-4, 1998 Historic Costuming Presented By Jill Harrison IMPRESSIONS Each of us makes an impression before ever saying a word. We size up visitors all the time, anticipating behavior from their age, clothing, and demeanor. What do they think of interpreters, disguised as we are in the threads of another time? While stressing the importance of historically accurate costuming (outfits) and accoutrements for first- person interpreters, there are many reasons compromises are made - perhaps a tight budget or lack of skilled construction personnel. Items such as shoes and eyeglasses are usually a sticking point when assembling a truly accurate outfit. It has been suggested that when visitors spot inaccurate details, interpreter credibility is downgraded and visitors launch into a frame of mind to find other inaccuracies. This may be true of visitors who are historical reenactors, buffs, or other interpreters. Most visitors, though, lack the heightened awareness to recognize the difference between authentic period detailing and the less-than-perfect substitutions. But everyone will notice a wristwatch, sunglasses, or tennis shoes. We have a responsibility to the public not to misrepresent the past; otherwise we are not preserving history but instead creating our own fiction and calling it the truth. Realistically, the appearance of the interpreter, our information base, our techniques, and our environment all affect the first-person experience. Historically accurate costuming perfection is laudable and reinforces academic credence. The minute details can be a springboard to important educational concepts; but the outfit is not the linchpin on which successful interpretation hangs.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 8, ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 2019 ISSN 2277-8616 PIC Based Power Loom Automation Using IOT P.Balasubramani, R.Krishnaveni Abstract: In this paper, a novel method to automate shuttled power looms is proposed. Power loom is a mechanized loom, mainly meant for the purpose of weaving in textile industries. It considerably reduces human labor and wastage. Hence it helps to ensure high quality cloth production, monitoring and measurement. It provides automatic warp and weft error detection and automatic weft replenishment. This module uses PIC16F877A to provide the necessary automation of the shuttled power looms, with immediate termination of its motor operation in case of any weft or warp errors. Also the amount of woven cloth is ultimately displayed in LCD. Keywords: weft, warp, single and double pick, PIC16F877A Proximity sensor, Control switches, Phototransistor, error detection and indication, production monitoring. ———————————————————— I.

  • Women's Clothing in the 18Th Century
    National Park Service Park News U.S. Department of the Interior Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions A Peek Inside Mrs. Derby’s Clothes Press: Women’s Clothing in the 18th Century In the parlor of the Derby House is a por- trait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, wearing her finest apparel. But what exactly is she wearing? And what else would she wear? This edition of Pickled Fish focuses on women’s clothing in the years between 1760 and 1780, when the Derby Family were living in the “little brick house” on Derby Street. Like today, women in the 18th century dressed up or down depending on their social status or the work they were doing. Like today, women dressed up or down depending on the situation, and also like today, the shape of most garments was common to upper and lower classes, but differentiated by expense of fabric, quality of workmanship, and how well the garment fit. Number of garments was also determined by a woman’s class and income level; and as we shall see, recent scholarship has caused us to revise the number of garments owned by women of the upper classes in Essex County. Unfortunately, the portrait and two items of clothing are all that remain of Elizabeth’s wardrobe. Few family receipts have survived, and even the de- tailed inventory of Elias Hasket Derby’s estate in 1799 does not include any cloth- ing, male or female. However, because Pastel portrait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, c. 1780, by Benjamin Blythe.
