Abstract
- The article discusses colonial era the British viewed Indian handicrafts through their own paternalistic lens. At the Great Exhibition of 1851, held in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, Indian handicrafts in wood, cloth, stone, and clay were celebrated as models of lively design and technical skill. The praise they received served to bolster criticism of the mass-produced artifacts of industrial United Kingdom, anticipating the polemical stance of the Arts and Crafts movement.
