Textiles & Designs: Bates Mill 1930-1990: Woven & Printed Home & Fashion Fabrics

Textiles and Designs: Bates Mill 1930–1990 documents Bates Mill’s most significant mid-to-late-twentieth century fabrics for the first time, showcasing the all-encompassing world of colorful jacquard and screen-printed designs found in Bates Mill’s famous bedspreads, drapery, household goods, and fashion fabrics. They are placed within the mid-century ethos of marketing, modernity, consumerism, and fashion’s growing influence on interior décor. Author Jacqueline Field has organized the well-illustrated chapters by theme rather than time line. Designed to be enjoyable for both the general reader and those whose curiosity extends to that vast world of what is now referred to as material culture, this book will delight the senses and give food for thought.
