Tinctorial Plants in the Economy of Vaucluse during the XlXth Century.
The eventful history of tinctorial plants in Vaucluse during the XIXth Century, puts into evidence three different cases: 1) the decline of old cultures — such as saffron — and of plants for gathering — such as "fustet" and "graine d'Avignon" — ; this decline was linked to the transformation of very small dye-works into a larger industry needing a larger production; 2) the introduction of new plants — such as woad — which were imposed during the Continental System and did not last long enough to have any effect upon the local economy; 3) the growth of madder culture which played a leading part in trading and which meant prosperity during three quarters of a century. Several crisis, particularly those starting around 1860, endangered madder culture and industry, thus having serious economic and social consequences. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
