Discovered by Titi in France, the piece is, in the words of curator John Guy in the catalogue, “the most spectacular, complex, and complete surviving example” of this rare genre of narrative chintz. Stamped with the mark of the United East India Company and depicting more than eight richly ornamented registers of Indian and European combatants, the chintz is unique and it is a privilege for us to be able to present it in the context of such an erudite and exciting show.</div></td>
