MARKET DAY: Punch & Judy's "Boot Sale" featuring Arnold Print Works lithographed cloth dolls & toys


 

Established in 1860, Arnold Print Works was, at one time, a world leader in textile manufacturing with offices in New York City and Paris.

In the late 1890s they began creating lithographed cloth 3-piece patterns that could be sewn and stuffed. The dolls and "critters" could sit up by having the bottom panel in place. I owned an antique "Kitty" created by an Arnold Print Works pattern years ago, but eventually sold it at an antique mall when I was a second-hand dealer.

The Cheese Market


 Colin “The Cheese” decided to take advantage of the Cheese market to see if he could empty the junk out of his shed and see if he could flog it

Theme: Market Day

Collages inspired by all kinds of markets.

Favourite flea markets, supermarkets or fairs. Real or imaginary.

As the month of May comes to an end, this is my last week on the theme-setting for now.

Thanks for all your fine collages over the last 2 months. - Ron
