Towel, Wallhanging: A Few Herbs 212, Unsigned

Description

A six-color silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting herb plants, herb names, a woman at a cook stove, a wall mounted spice cabinet, and kitchen tools including a wooden salad bowl and salad servers. This design has been documented in both signed and unsigned editions. Early in Country Prints’ history, Wert didn’t sign all of his work. This unsigned example appears in a c.1952 Churchill Barn/Country Prints brochure; see images. This print was marketed for use as a kitchen towel, wallhanging, or table runner.
