Whimsical household linens and handkerchiefs of the 20th century,
most from the "fun linen" period after World War II and through the
1960s, fill this book. The authors' selection criteria was simple:
the linens must be collectible, cheerful, and fun! Shown in
outstanding color photographs are eye-catching tablecloths,
napkins, placemats, runners, towels, doilies, potholders,
bedspreads, pillowcases, curtains, laundry bags, and aprons.
Organized by subject matter and accompanied by fascinating
historical information, they reflect American society during a
period of rapid change. Included are many examples of embroidered,
crocheted, and hand-painted linens, as well as wonderful signed and
unsigned printed pieces. The designs include those by early,
pre-World War II proponents of the "fun linen" look, such as Tony
Sarg and Tom Lamb. To aid collectors, the authors offer tips for
finding and purchasing fun linens, newly discovered information
about some of the textile designers featured, and current values.
These popular and charming keepsakes are guaranteed to put a smile
on your face!
