This absolutely
delightful print is a
Liberty design in fine
Tana lawn from their
archive, exclusive to
Simon Carter dates from
the 1940s. Unfortunately
the name of the original
artist is lost in the
mists of time. It
features the Mardi Gras
in an early form, with
rural South American
dancers enjoying the
carnival before the
privations of Lent have
to be faced. It is very
sweet, naive and rather
nicely done, with rich
watercolour, or possibly
gouache marks carefully
describing the exotic,
flowing dresses, wild
jewellery and headdresses
of solo 'carnival queens'
alongside the costumes
and features of rather
less flamboyant couples.
A wonderful range of
softly bright colours and
contrasts, lovely poise
overall, tasteful,
slightly dream-like and
nostalgic. 'Moore' three
button cuff.
