Object Details
- H. R. Mallinson & Co. Inc.
- Description
- In late 1926 American silk manufacturer H.R. Mallinson & Co. introduced a bold new line of printed silks, twelve landscape designs, each available in from eight to twelve colorways (color combinations) on three different ground fabrics. The designs celebrated America's National Parks - then only a decade old. The designs represented all the usual styles necesssary for making clothing: allover prints, horizontal stripes, checks, a border design. This bold design of large blocks or checks alternates a solid color with a figured block depicting Crater Lake, Oregon. The ground fabric of this sample is trade-named "Pussy Willow", one of Mallinson's most popular silks.
