Name/Title

Box: Miller (TK)

Description

A wood box with a four-color silkscreen printed lid. Imagery depicts a miller, a water-powered mill, the finished products of milled grains, and the phrase, “Remember the Miller When You Eat Your Bread”. Likely made of birchwood, the corners of the box are finger-joined. According to Sara Leeper, this box was probably sold as a product unto itself and was not filled with other Country Prints products such as notecards. A matching table runner was also produced; see related entries below.
