About this artwork

June Groff’s Spice Garden pattern, designed in the mid-1940s, became the first printed textile produced by the firm of Jack Lenor Larsen Inc. While the design initially was printed on plain cotton, its popularity led to the production of a velvet version as part of the 1981 Magnificata collection. The name of the collection could be a reference to the idea of praising or lauding virtues, whether those were Groff’s virtues as an artist and designer or the virtues that she found in nature and celebrated in her design.
