Name/Title
Towel, Wallhanging: Woodenware 202Description
A Country Prints production sample retained as a print record.
A table runner with a three-color silkscreen print on off-white linen depicting more than twenty examples of early American woodenware.
It appears on a c.1951 packing slip, and is likely an update of a c.1949 design that appears on a packing slip from that time.
Though this looks like his work from later in the 1950’s, it is bordered with rick-rack style edging and signed with the “W-in-heart” signet Bob used in the early 1950’s.
Right and left edges are hemmed, top and bottom edges are selvedges.Made/Created
