This is an original 1948 two-color serigraph of a decorative floral and fowl design from a pillow sham that was made by a German settler in Washburn, Wisconsin, in a motif style that was similar to those of the German settlers of Pennsylvania at the time. The original sham was owned by Barbara Moore Hayden of Washburn, Wisconsin.

Period Paper has obtained an interesting and rare collection of serigraphs (a silk-screen process) deaccessioned from a major Wisconsin library with interesting historical design and decor motifs from the 19th century. Many of the designs of alien origin here have their counterparts in American design today. In this collection you will find a variety of implemented designs in different media portrayed Ñ carved and painted wood, cast and wrought iron, beadwork, embroidery, needlepoint, appliquŽ, quill work, pottery, rug making and even Easter egg coloring. These designs were obviously influenced by a wide variety of settlers of Wisconsin, including members of the the three largest Indian tribes. These original serigraphs would look stunning framed, and their color saturation is exceptional.
