Inspiration

Cascading Floral Stripe is reproduced from a textile fragment of a French woodblock-printed design circa 1775-1800. (Object #1966-481) Description from the curator: "Coarse plain-woven cotton textile blockprinted in madder reds and browns on off-white ground. Two different vertical floral stripes alternate with stripes composed of diamond lozenges. The selvages are folded under at both sides with remnants of seam stitching still in place."
