Cotton Prints or Calico Prints
From the 1882 edition of The Dictionary of Needlewoork comes a definition of Cotton Prints or Calico Prints: "Calico cloths printed in various colours and patterns to serve for dresses. Specimens of cotton fabrics sent out of the country, from Manchester alone, have shown upwards of 1,500 different kinds, varying in strength and pattern, from coarse cloths to the finest muslins, and from the richest chintz to the plain white."
