Name/Title
Towel, Wallhanging: Remember 205 (TK)Description
A Country Prints production sample retained as a print record.
A towel/wallhanging/runner with a two-color silkscreen print on white linen depicting stylized espaliered trees planted in handled pots, and arranged in a collage-like composition. This print was marketed for use as a kitchen towel, wallhanging, or table runner.
This is a rare example of a Wert towel design that is bi-directional and designed for each side to look the same when hanging on a towel rod.
The possible name of this design, Remember 205, appears on a c.1949 Country Prints packing slip, but needs to be verified with further documentation.Made/Created
