Other Pillow Covers

1950? Embroidered Pillow Top of FC.  19" x 15".  $30 from geodecsis through Ebay, May, '20.

As the seller notes, there is a yellow background layer that is only pinned at the moment to this delicate representation of FC.  If it really was used as a pillow covering, the cords attaching the figures to each other must have been put under great strain!  Aesop shows up in many places!

 

1950? Fable Pillow Cover made of Marvic Cotton Fabric.  15.75" square.  Unknown source.

Here are six scenes from Marvic's pattern of eight scenes, shown in this collection under "Individual Cloths."  Here we have pictured "The Fox and the Bust"; "The Traveler and the Satyr"; BS; "The Bear and the Grieving Lioness"; "The Fighting Bulls and the Frogs"; and "The Oyster and the Litigants."  Plain tan backing. 

 

2010? Pillow or cushion cover illustrating “The Mouse, the Frog, and the Hawk.”  28.6” x 19”.  Unknown source.

I presume that this is a cushion or pillow cover, since it has an opening for something to be put inside.  Illustrating this fable is rather unusual!
