The cloth printings in the AAS collection were all machine printed. The cloth on which they are printed is closely related to the yard goods used for bed linens, clothing, and draperies then being produced at mills across the country. Calico printers were set up in the colonies as early as 1712, running small mills and dye houses near Boston and Philadelphia. After the invention of both the spinning jenny and cylindrical copper plates for printing onto cloth in 1770, the textile industry in Europe and in North America expanded rapidly. By 1836, 120 <em>million<\/em> yards of printed fabric were being produced in the United States annually. \u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Unlike these mass-produced fabrics, most of the 150 cloth printings at AAS were created in small quantities in the newspaper shops and printing houses of urban areas from Boston to San Francisco. \u00a0 Why did printers choose to make these objects on fabric when paper was the standard and easier to procure? Practicality was often a factor. A religious banner used by Millerites to predict the end of the world was likely printed on textiles to ensure easy transportation from one camp meeting to the next.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19799\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19799\" style=\"width: 452px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pastispresent.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/206086_0001-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-19799\" src=\"https:\/\/pastispresent.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/206086_0001-220x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"452\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pastispresent.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/206086_0001-220x300.jpeg 220w, https:\/\/pastispresent.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/206086_0001-752x1024.jpeg 752w, https:\/\/pastispresent.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/206086_0001-768x1046.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/pastispresent.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/206086_0001-1127x1536.jpeg 1127w, https:\/\/pastispresent.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/206086_0001-1503x2048.jpeg 1503w, https:\/\/pastispresent.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/206086_0001-scaled.jpeg 1879w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19799\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Image of \u201cA Chronological chart of the visions of Daniel &amp; John,\u201d 1842. <a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.mwa.org\/vwebv\/holdingsInfo?bibId=206086\">Catalog Record)<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIndestructible\u201d books for children printed on cotton or linen were also practical. \u00a0Although they frayed when over-manipulated by young readers, they did not tear into pieces the way a paper book would have.
