Cythera Cotton Print was adapted from a document in the Brunschwig Archive. This French textile, dated from the 1920s or 1930s, is a pochoir-printed curtain panel of pale apricot cotton percale.
This printing technique, briefly used before the advent of screen printing, employed thin, metal sten-cils to produce flat areas of color without the detail or layered look of block-printing. The fantasti-cal design features vignettes with figures in 18th century dress, a great gnarled trunk garlanded with flowers, and elements including an over-scale exotic bird, urn, and trellis. Our adaptation includes brightened colors placed on a cream ground, and the overall scale was reduced by the rearrange-
ment of many motifs. Cythera has been in the line since its introduction in Fall 2005.

Festival of Lanterns Linen Print comes from a document in the Brunschwig Archive. This French textile likely comes out of the revival of Chinoiserie patterns seen in the 1930s. The large-scale design,
featuring kite-flying figures situated among fantastical branches, parrots, other exotic flowers, was block-printed on a grey linen tabby. These motifs were reinterpreted by a modern artist in a com-bination of watercolor and dry-brush techniques. Lanterns were added in favor of kites, additional figures create a denser design, and the layout is a more noticeable arborescent trellis. Festival of

Grande Arbre Embroidery on Linen was reproduced from a document in the Brunschwig Archive. Our doc-ument is itself a reproduction; an early 20th century version of a late 18th century design, block-printed on a glazed cotton chintz. During this period the popular and expensive “Tree of Life” designs on Indian palampores were first being translated into repeating designs such as this. The large-scale arborescent
component also incorporates large exotic flowers against a deep aubergine ground. The motifs and scale remain identical to the original. This timeless design was first released as a chintz in Fall 1967, reimagined
in Spring 1995, and lives on as this embroidery introduced in the Fall 2013.

the popularity of game birds. The design features vignettes of pheasants and various other birds amidst ferns and fronds on a cream-colored
ground. The scale and motifs remain identical to the original, though the hues are slightly altered.

Le Kakatoes Cotton Print was reproduced from a document in the Brunschwig Archive. This French textile, produced at a printworks in Nantes circa 1815, is roller-printed in violet ink on cotton. Patterns such as this, referred to as ‘toiles’, were used to cover large spaces or entire rooms, often with provincial scenes intended to evoke daydreaming of an idealized “simple life” by the aristocratic owners of these expensive fabrics. Interestingly, toiles in the early 19th century showed an interest in the depiction of middle-class life. In this document, vignettes feature scenes of a couple leisurely attending to daily duties, as well as a woman in Empire dress relaxing with her child and pet parrot, signifying a level of wealth. For our repro-duction, the scale and motifs remain true to the original (save for a cat on the roof, who was replaced by a squirrel!). Though the document was referenced for an earlier Brunschwig print from 1951, the reimag-
ined Le Kakatoes has given new life to this timeless design since its introduction in Fall 2001.

The scale remains identical to the original, with a few additional
motifs included to complete the repeat. It was converted from the original cotton tabby to a wallpaper. Biscay has been in the line since its introduction in Spring 1999.

slightly elongated, and the medium was changed from textile to wallpaper. Red is the documentary colorway. Renditions of this pattern (on fabric) were introduced in the Spring 1976 and Spring 1999 collections, with Bird and Thistle Cotton Print and wallpaper making a
renewed statement in Spring 2007.

was printed on a cream cotton tabby from an en-graved copper plate at the Bromley Hall printworks in 1780-1785. It includes a serpentine stem with various perched birds and decorative foliage. The scale was
slightly elongated, and the medium was changed from textile to wallpaper. Red is the documentary colorway. Renditions of this pattern (on fabric) were introduced in the Spring 1976 and Spring 1999 collections, with Bird and Thistle Cotton Print and wallpaper making a
renewed statement in Spring 2007.

Le Kakatoes was reproduced from a document in the Brunschwig Archive. This French textile, produced at a printworks in Nantes circa 1815, is roller-printed in violet ink on cotton. Patterns such as this, referred to as ‘toiles’, were used to cover large spaces or entire rooms, often with provincial scenes intended to
evoke daydreaming of an idealized “simple life” by the aristocratic owners of these expensive fabrics. Inter-estingly, toiles in the early 19th century showed an interest in the depiction of middle-class life. In this doc-ument, vignettes feature scenes of a couple leisurely attending to daily duties, as well as a woman in Empire dress relaxing with her child and pet parrot, signifying a level of wealth. For our reproduction, the scale and motifs remain true to the original (save for a cat on the roof, who was replaced by a squirrel!). The cotton ground was converted into a wallpaper. Though this document was referenced for an earlier Brunschwig
print from 1951, the reimagined Le Kakatoes gave new life to this timeless design in the Fall 2001 collection, with this wallpaper introduced in Spring 2002.

Festival of Lanterns comes from a document in the Brunschwig Archive. This French textile likely comes out of the revival of Chinoiserie patterns seen in the 1930s. The large-scale, block-printed
design features kite-flying figures situated among fantastical branches, parrots, other exotic flowers. These motifs were reinterpreted by a modern artist in a combination of watercolor and dry-brush techniques. Lanterns were added in favor of kites, additional figures create a denser design, and the
layout is a more noticeable arborescent trellis. It was translated from the original grey linen tabby to a wallpaper. Festival of Lanterns has been in the line since its introduction in Spring 2005.
