Description

The designer, Blanche McManus Mansfield, created this whimsical mirror image design that extends across the spine. The “typewriter girl” is swathed in black typewriter ribbon. The fan-like design in the middle represents the type bar mechanism of a typewriter. The design pops out at you, yet she uses only two colors, red and black against the white cloth, to achieve this effect.
