Brooke Cadwallader Silk Scarf, The Carnival Print – 1947-1950
Brooke Cadwallader was a well-known printed textile designer of the mid-20th century. His whimsical prints drew on the interests of a country in and out of war and were used on scarves, ties, aprons and various other accessories. Cadwallader’s textile designs are well-represented in the collection archives of The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC.
