Name/Title

Book Cover: Mary Hunt’s Salad Bowl

Description

A book cover with a three-color silkscreen print on natural linen depicting a large salad bowl, serving utensils and butter molds, all carved from wood. “Mary Hunt’s Salad Bowl” was a popular cookbook that had been in publication for a number of years before Wert produced this cover art in 1948. This was most likely a limited edition produced in celebration of a publishing milestone, or a corporate commission for a trade show, annual meeting, or other special occasion.
