介绍（中）	18世纪上半叶是英国丝绸编织业设计史上一个特别富有成果和特色的时期。Anna Maria Garthwaite（1690–1763）是与这一时期关系最密切的设计师，因为她的设计图纸得以保存，现藏于伦敦维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆。尽管这种图案与Garthwaite出版的任何设计都不匹配，但它与她在浅色基础上精心观察的花朵和植物的构图有很多共同之处。这幅丝绸面板上画的物种包括郁金香、玫瑰、菊花和冬青这一时期伦敦东部Spitalfields地区生产的花卉丝绸与同时期的英国瓷器进行了挑衅性的比较。切尔西瓷器制造厂在1750年代（2016.217-2.29）制作的一套盘子显示出与丝绸设计一样对当代植物插图的兴趣。18世纪上半叶的几位丝绸设计师都学习过植物学或自然史。在这种求知欲的氛围中，瓷器和丝绸设计的创作者都找到了创作独特英国作品的灵感。
介绍（英）	The first part of the 18th century was a particularly fruitful and distinctive period in the history of British design for the silk weaving industry. Anna Maria Garthwaite (1690–1763) is the designer mostly closely associated with this period due to the survival of her design drawings, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Though this pattern does not match any of the published Garthwaite designs, it has much in common with her compositions of carefully observed flowers and plants arranged on a pale foundation color. The species illustrated on this silk panel include tulips, roses, chrysanthemums and holly. The floral silks produced in the Spitalfields area of east London during this period provide a provocative comparison with British porcelains of the same period. A set of plates made by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory in the 1750s (2016.217–.229) display the same interest in contemporary botanical illustration as do the silk designs. Several silk designers of the first half of the 18th century are known to have studied botany or natural history. In this climate of intellectual curiosity, creators of both porcelain and silk designs found inspiration to create works that are uniquely British.
