A BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF ANKARA

The process to make wax print is originally influenced by batik, an Indonesian (Javanese) method of dyeing cloth by using wax-resist techniques.

For batik, wax is melted and then patterned across the blank cloth. From there, the cloth is soaked in dye, which is prevented from covering the entire cloth by the wax. Also, if additional colours are required, the wax-and-soak process is repeated with new patterns.

During the Dutch colonization of Indonesia, Dutch merchants and administrators became familiar with the batik technique. The owners of textile factories in the Netherlands, such as Jean Baptiste Theodore, received batik textiles by the 1850s. So, they started developing machine printing processes that could imitate batik. So they hoped that these much cheaper machine-made imitations could outcompete the original batiks in the Indonesian market. It also affected the look of batik without all the labour-intensive work required to make the real thing.
