| Added by jacquesraffine, 09 Jul 2023 Antique saleroom posters for the East India Company advertised a wide selection of new and exciting houseware items. The ships involved in the trade to India and beyond were generally away from England for the best part of two years. In the song "Pepper Porcelain Callicoes" a sailor's wife tells of how the realities of the trade affect her own life. | |||
