Historical Printed Textile c. 1939

This printed textile, created by Suzanne Roy around 1939, is a striking example of patterned fabric design. The intricate design features a repeating motif of stylized floral elements, birds, and scenes of ships sailing amongst islands. The overall color scheme is a combination of soft pastel hues and muted shades of brown, adding a sense of subtlety and elegance. This textile would have been suitable for a variety of purposes, including clothing, upholstery, or home decor, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the early 20th century.
