Scope and Contents
Collection consists of the labels used by textile manufacturers to identify their materials. These labels range from simple identification tags to works of art. At their simplest the labels are little more than blank pieces of paper on which the manufacturer, type of cloth, and yardage can be written. The illustrated labels can be anything from simple line drawings to elaborate works of late-19th and early-20th century art, both serious and whimsical.
