Name/Title
Towel, Wallhanging: Kitchenware (TK)Description
A three-color silkscreen print on natural linen depicting kitchen tools and implements made of wood, tin, glass, and wrought iron.
Though this is most likely a design first produced by Country Prints in the early 1960’s, the use of the standardized “wert” and Helvetica type on the signature lines may indicate a later reissue of the design, possibly in the late 1960’s after Wert’s death in January 1966.
A matching calendar towel and table cloth were also produced; see images.Made/Created
