A length of plain-woven linen screen-printed with a repeating pattern based on topographical maps. The design resembles aerial views of coastlines or peninsulas showing multiple wavy borders around iregular shapes. The textile is printed in black, light brown, and white on a chocolate brown ground. The vertical repeat is 61" (per dealer); the horizontal repeat is 47". Approximately three full repeats are found in this length of textile. This fabric is slightly stiff, having been coated in acrylic for use as a wall covering by Avant Garde in Chicago, Illinois. The side edges are selvages. The top and bottom edges are cut.
