A length of hand-block-printed, satin-striped, Indestructible Voile -- A Mallinson trade name for a sheer, plain weave silk fabric. This example has satin-weave stripes of two widths combined to form a 9 3/4" warp stripe. Printed by hand, with large circular motifs in "Mermaid" design (mermaids and fish swimming in a roundel format) in 5 colors (orange, turquoise, purple, gray, pink, and beige) on a black ground. This design was probably purchased by Mallinson from textile designer and participant in the numerous desin contests of the period, Hazel Burnham Slaughter.
