By the 1780s in the city of Barcelona alone, more than 150
factories shipped calicoes to every major city in Spain and across
the Atlantic, from Veracruz to Montevideo. Catalan, Basque and
Castilian families sent relatives throughout the Iberian Peninsula
and Spanish America, hoping to enrich themselves from the trade in
calicoes. "Clothing the Spanish Empire" narrates the lives of
families on both sides of the Atlantic who profited from the craze
for calicoes, and in doing so helped the Spanish empire to flourish
in the eighteenth century.
