Talk about novelty prints - how's this one for politically incorrect!!!!

I got that from the book by Bernard Rudofsky... I have to put away a ton of books and mags tonight, so I will pull it out and send you the reference.

Rudofsky? Really? Curiouser and curiouser! Thanks so much Jonathan, that's invaluable, and kind of seems like it could be an interesting new lead.

Suzanne, those are old links that I can't edit, but my 'Arabic-print' Shaheen is visible in this old and unsatisfactory blog post:

And here on the forum, along with a recent buy with a different label/colour-scheme:

I don't have Jonathan's image uploaded online, but maybe if I investigate Rudofsky and join up the dots, I'll try to include a version of it.

Has the pic been removed, because I don't see it in the post?

 

[Jonathan]

This is a really old post - four years ago, so the pic has long since disappeared...

Whoops...didn't check the dates! It's rare a 4 year old post comes up here again!

sorry for any confusion! I was just following the trail to this thread, and posting on the end seemed to be the logical step...
