Name/Title

Towel: Plimoth Thanksgiving 260

Description

This towel/wallhanging design is undocumented but may be related to the Plimoth Thanksgiving apron and table runner produced by Country Prints; see image. The towel/wallhanging was a custom commission for Plimoth Plantation (now Plimoth Pawtuxet). This is one of over sixty designs sold by Country Prints to Stevens Linen Associates of Dudley, Massachusetts, in January 1969. From that point onward, the designs were produced by Stevens with all reference to Robert Darr Wert and Country Prints removed. Many of these designs continued to be produced by Stevens throughout the 1970’s and some into the 1980’s.
