Screen-printed linen/rayon designed by the industrial designer and children's book illustrator Thomas Babbit Lamb (1896–1988). With an Art Deco design silhouetted in black on white with stylized leaping antelope, dogs, and Diana figures amid scrolling leafy brackets. The composition inspired by the ironwork of William Diedrich Hunt and the sculptures of Paul Manship; Lamb’s likeness in linen is in fact a near mirror image of Manship’s iconic bronze of the goddess Diana that was first produced in 1921.
