Printed Textile c. 1940

This printed textile, designed by Mildred Ford around 1940, depicts a scene from the classic fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood. The textile showcases intricate details of the forest setting, with lush foliage in shades of green and red against a rich burgundy backdrop. The central figure, Little Red Riding Hood, is seen walking with a basket, while a wolf lurks nearby, adding a sense of suspense to the narrative. The inclusion of a small house in the distance further enhances the storytelling element of this printed textile.
