2001.13.7Description
A promotion for the Gem City French Laundry, featuring a domestic scene and a functional thermometer. The promotion is in a gold frame, and features a silhouette of a girl and a woman. The girl is on the left side, seated, sewing a green fabric. The woman is on the right side, seated, holding a book in one hand, and her other hand upraised. Behind the woman is a large window with curtains pulled to the side, and a forested scene with a cabin can be seen through the window. The thermometer is in the upper left of the promotion, and can be seen through an oval cutting in the scene. The information for Gem City French Laundry can be found at the bottom, inside a black box. There is a thin golden rope threaded through two holes in the back, for hanging.Collection
