Calico Prints from Costume

Mary C. Davidson

National Gallery of Art

This is a image of two distinct fabric patterns. The image shows two rectangular fabric samples placed vertically on a plain background. The top fabric features a simple pattern of small floral motifs evenly spaced across a light-colored fabric. The second fabric below displays stripes with intricate, repeated motifs featuring vertical arrangements in blue, red, and gray tones. Both samples are detailed to highlight their patterns. Small text near the bottom of each sample names them "Mary C. Davidson." Handwritten annotations are present at the bottom left corner of the image.
