Winner of the Best Books on Devon's History: Academic Award from the Devon History Society A richly illustrated exploration of the national and international importance of the early modern Exeter cloth trade. This book reproduces a newly discovered manuscript detailing the exports of Claude Passavant, a Swiss emigre merchant. Passavant's dispatch book comprises the most extensive surviving collection of Devon cloth with 2,475 surviving cloth samples. Thirteen chapters discuss the local and wider contexts of eighteenth-century cloth making. This study explores the quality, range, and vibrancy of cloth that lead to Exeter becoming an internationally renowned centre for the manufacture and trade of woollen cloth.

Industry Reviews

a well rounded detailed study of various aspects of the wool trade and cloth production in Exeter and surrounding area, based on a variety of sources, placing Exeter and Devon in comparison to other English textile centres of the period like Norfolk or Manchester. * The Journal of Dress History *
Taken as a whole, this handsomely-produced and very readable volume adds significantly to what was previously known about Devon clothmaking and can serve as a comprehensive handbook for those coming to the subject for the first time. -- Local Historian
