Description

A four-color silkscreen print on natural linen depicting the interior of a country store, with the calendar months flanked by spice drawers. This calendar towel appears in the brochure “1967 Country Print Calendar Towels”; see images. 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.
