Name/Title

Wallhanging: Herb Chart 258

Description

A Country Prints production sample or sales sample retained as a print record. A wallhanging with a four-color silkscreen print on white linen depicting eight herbs, their latin names, symbolism, and suggestions for use in cooking. The panel was also used as imagery for the Herb Notes 236 notecard set. The illustrations are very similar to Country Prints’ herb tile series introduced in the late 1950’s. A support bar and flat woven cord for hanging are glued to the top back of the linen print.
