A five-color silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting more than thirty five tools and furnishings necessary to a well equipped early American kitchen.

All are recurrent themes in Wert’s work and originate from his personal collection of early American artifacts.
This print is a recolored version of a c.1953 towel/wallhanging/runner titled Frontier Cooking 222. It is listed in the January 1960 Country Prints price list in a choice of antique Birch or flat black frames, and appears in the c.1960 brochure “Country Prints in Frames Designed by Robert Darr Wert”, p.3; see images.Made/Created
