Towel, Calendar: Covered Bridge 508, 1968

Description

A four-color silkscreen print on off-white linen featuring an image of a covered bridge, with an early American house and church beyond. Artwork was produced by an unidentified freelance artist hired by Country Prints after Wert's death in 1966. 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.
