material culture

I've recently come upon some really neat prints on vintage clothing:

 The skirt above is from the 1930's.  The print features everything from volcanoes to pirate ships to Helios driving his chariot across the sky.  

 A circa 1950 Pennleigh cotton seersucker shirt with BRIGHT Hawaiian motifs.  So much more comfortable for hot weather wear than rayon.  

 A 1980's Italian silk scarf with bicycling print.  Exquisite!
