Algodón estampado by Ernest Capaldo, c. 1941

Ernest Capaldo designed this lively pattern around 1941, likely as a prototype for mass-produced fabric during the era of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Wavy, brown ribbons dance across a background of tiny, concentric circles, creating a loose framework for vibrant clusters of red and teal flowers. It’s a perfect example of mid-century American design, aiming to bring a touch of elegance and organic beauty into everyday households through accessible textile art.
