When I look at the period ...I'm not 100% sure. When I look at the period dictionaries, <i>peinte</i> is given as "painted" - in the <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=wodFAAAAcAAJ&dq=toile%20peinte&pg=PA295" rel="nofollow">1801 Dictionary of the Academie Française</a>, it says "One calls <i>toile peinte</i> a toile of cotton which is painted with different colors. Usually, by <i>toile peinte</i>, one means a toile painted in the Indies, or in the Indian manner, with solid and lasting colors. ... One also calls <i>toile imprimé</i> toile painted by printing." But it seems possible that the GdM writers used <i>peinte</i> for both, as this plate does look more like a printed fabric. So thank you for bringing up the point!Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596345781746342408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848073453811666225.post-89631719280417751362013-08-30T13:36:10.168-04:002013-08-30T13:36:10.168-04:00Dear Cassidy,
