Vienna print from my Modernism reproduction
collection for Moda
The document print was probably once
a quilt backing. You can see the wrinkles
where the lines of quilting were.
The original was faded---the large-scale cretonne prints of the early 20th century were not as colorfast as our prints today. In the wrinkles we got a better idea of the original color, which we called Baltic Blue.
Here's the reproduction of that print in Baltic Blue.
The line has four colorways.
What caught my eye in the original was THAT ROSE.

Big, splashy, painterly roses were a fashion necessity in the teens and twenties from Vienna...

Flapper humor?
The colors in this series are very apealing. Love the Baltic Blue and the olive background color way as well. The chocolate color scheme reminds me of a dress I had when I was about 5 (mid last century) Thanks again for all the wonderful info on this blog! I enjoy all your blogs! Happy Holidays! cheers, Claire W.
