<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Askett, post: 2303915, member: 4727&quot;]Board members were very helpful to me recently identifying a piece of embroidered linen that turned out to be a macassar, something I&#039;d not even heard of before. I&#039;m now hoping someone might be kind enough to provide me with a bit of information about another piece of linen I have, that I&#039;d like to understand better. As you&#039;ll see in the pics, it&#039;s a piece of linen, measuring 33&quot; by 48&quot;, with edges that have been folded over and stitched, and a scene in the center of two ladies reading under a tree, one with a baby in a cradle, that appears to have been printed, painted and embroidered. I presume this is a tablecloth? From the style of the artwork I&#039;m guessing it dates to the 1920&#039;s or 1930&#039;s; would you agree? Finally, would this have been sold as a craft project, a pre-printed linen that the buyer would finish by adding embroidering and, possible, paint as well? That&#039;s what it looks like to me. Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/KsY1xJQ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/9baaxf3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/PZMph3T.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/CqWp7nU.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
