A length of printed cotton with a large-scale floral pattern. The design consists of large flowers and spheres in bold colors including red, orange-red, lavender-blue, green, brown, and fuchsia on a black ground. This pattern is stencil printed on a plain-woven white cotton.
The pattern repeat measures 17-1/4H" x 30-3/4W". The side edges are selvages, and the top and bottom edges were originally raw cut.
Exhibition preparation required the top to be hemmed 3-1/4" for a casing to hang the textile and the bottom to be hemmed 1-1/2" for a finished edge for the exhibition.
