"Raoul Dufy, 1925

Originally this fabric was printed 120 cm wide. Wonderful colours and quirky design. The mythical creature clasp is very Egyptianesque. Tutankhamun's tomb having being discovered in 1923 set the trend for a passion in all things Egyptian, the influence was great in the fashion world.
