Follow the Tulip, researching into the textile manufacturer Henry Nathan by Pierce, Gina

“…The use of the textile archive as a means for exploring industrial and social history is less established, and this research demonstrates how the tangible evidence can be a tool for an in depth study of a particular manufacturer in the mid-twentieth century. In following up the trail provided by a small number of fabric samples in the Parker Knoll archive (Special Collections, 2018) new findings have been discovered, that have an impact on a national historic collection. …”
