Two lengths of piece-dyed, solid color Pussy Willow silk fabric.."Pussy Willow" was a long standing H.R. Mallinson & Co. tradename for a soft drapey plain weave fabric. It was marketed as pure-dye and tub fast (washable). One piece in orange and a second in blue. Solid color coordinates for the print series based on the 1925 New York Zoological Society sponsored expedition to the Galapagos Islands. Drawings by artist Helen Tee Van, who accompanied the expedition (Captained by William Beebe), were used as the basis for a series of printed dress silks by Mallinson.
