1754: The royal priviledge to print cotton was revoked or re-purchased by the king. This was following a complaint from Iselin, Reinhard who complained that the quality of the cottons printed at Holmsted's print workshop was too poor (Bruun, Kjøbenhavn) (Danske Tekstilerhverv I)


Allegedly, Holmsted was, as one of the only ones, against the general policy to invite foreign nationals to aid the manufacturing industries (BibLek III)
