Notes
The screen was described in an advertisement in August 1903: “The fabric is a green canvas cloth, which is first fastened to the face of the middle panel and cut. Then, a single piece of the fabric serves for the remainder of the screen, the cloth, beginning with the back os the first, or left-hand panel, being passed alternately to the front and the rear, until the whole unit is covered. The top of the frame is concealed by a band of the material and no nails are used in the work, except the loran brass round-headed tacks on the face, which also serve for ornament.”
A drawing of the screen also appeared in the November 1903 issue of the Craftsman in a watercolor captioned “What may be done with an ordinary room,” that showcased a number of 1903/04 inlaid pieces.
