Start Over Collector Jane Scribner Donor Max Uhle
Hearst Museum object titled Textile, accession number 7-7314, described as Fide Cathe Howe: "Dotted Swiss, probably one hundred percent cotton. The design is printed on the finished fabric, I'm not sure of the printing process, but it if was silkscreened, the manufacturer needed about eight or nine color runs; the design repeat is approximately 19" in length. The dyes were applied in a thin enough wash to give the effect of watercolor painting. This fabric was most likely used for curtains, bedclothes, or some appurtenance of a ladies; boudoir — the print would have been considered too large to wear on the body.
