介绍（中）	这种装饰织物展示了穿着时髦的女士们和先生们悠闲地追求狩猎和钓鱼的乐趣；它在美学和技术上都代表了18世纪英国纺织印刷的高度。到1761年，罗伯特·琼斯在伦敦东区的老福特建立了他的工厂，并掌握了在纺织品上进行不褪色铜版印刷的秘密，这一工艺是爱尔兰德拉姆孔德拉的弗朗西斯·尼克松九年前发明的。与传统的木版印刷相比，这项新技术可以实现更大的重复和更精细的造型。这弥补了设计的复杂性和铜版印刷的限制要求只能使用一种颜色的事实在这次巡回赛中，琼斯将两个过程的最佳方面结合在一起，并充分利用了每一个过程。图案的垂直重复非常长，略多于八十一英寸，需要两块单独的铜板。设计的主要元素是第一块用茄子印刷的盘子。随后，木版印刷增加了额外的颜色——这项技术需要高超的技巧和时间来确保所有的印象都能正确地记录下来并用铅笔书写。因此，公共收藏中只有另外两个这种特殊构图的例子也就不足为奇了（伦敦维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆；巴黎装饰艺术博物馆）尽管这些场景的设计者尚未确定，但在充满建筑废墟和参天大树的景观中，这些装饰时尚的绅士们经常出现在当代英国绘画和版画中。
介绍（英）	This furnishing fabric shows fashionably dressed ladies and gentlemen leisurely pursuing the pastimes of hunting and fishing; it represents, both aesthetically and technically, the height of English textile printing in the eighteenth century. By 1761 Robert Jones had established his manufactory at Old Ford in the East End of London and had mastered the secret of colorfast copperplate printing on textiles, a process invented nine years earlier by Francis Nixon of Drumcondra, Ireland. The new technique allowed for much larger repeats and finer modeling of forms than could be achieved with traditional wood-block printing. This compensated for the fact that the complexity of the design and the restrictions of copperplate printing required that only one color be used. In this tour de force Jones combined the best aspects of both processes and used each to full advantage. The vertical repeat of the pattern is exceptionally long, slightly more than eighty-one inches, and necessitated two separate copperplates. The principal elements of the design were first plate printed in aubergine. Additional colors were subsequently added by wood-block printing—a technique involving great skill and time to ensure that all impressions register properly—and penciling. It is not surprising, therefore, that only two other examples of this particular composition exist in public collections (Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris). Although the designer of these scenes has not been identified, such stylishly adorned gentry sporting in a landscape replete with architectural ruins and towering trees frequently appear in contemporary English paintings and prints.
