A thrift shop find. I saw this sitting in the shop for some months. I couldn't stand it anymore and bought it! I love it.
Originally came from a mail order place in Amsterdam which no longer exists. I couldn't find evidence of it, anyway.
"Sponsored through I'OREAL" (L'OREAL?)

It's interesting, I saw a print like this in an article recently about the hairstyles of the time, and their political significance. Don't recall where, now, will try and think on it. Lovely collection of things, Bonnie. :)
Ha! I remembered I read it here on CW:

Love that!
OAS - I think it's a great print! I wish I could find out how long ago this was printed in Holland, but the company is kaput - nothing found on the web. L'OREAL makes makes beauty supplies, so it couldn't have been that long ago. If it is L'OREAL...
OAS, you really do know your research. :)
BRAVO! You're the best not so silly ;-))
OAS - that could very well be the answer. You do good work!!! THANKS
Thanks to everyone!
Hi, I bought a simular one a few days ago. Cant find nothing about it online (except your post). Its a different drawing called “The Green Garden”, but the rest is the same, offered by l’Oreal/ Antik Print Amsterdam (I cant add a photo)
