John Guy examines the history of the cloth-for-spices trade, focusing on the 17th and 18th centuries when this thousand-year-old exchange reached its peak. The volume features detailed photography of cotton chintzes and tie-and-dye silk patola, complemented by archival imagery and primary accounts from historical merchants and travelers.
