Description

Shadowings is another famed design from this era. This wrap-around cover of lotus flowers is done in only two shades of blue against dark blue cloth. The stamped gilt titles stand out sharply to give it an elegant effect. This design, also by Lee Thayer of Decorative Designers, is considered to be one of her finest works.
