William Scott C.B.E. R.A. (British 1913-1989) for Edinburgh Weavers Whithorn, designed 1961 two furnishing fabric panels, screen printed linen, printed manufacturer's mark to the selvedge (larger panel 149cm x 174cm (58.5in x 68.4in); smaller panel 55cm x 149cm (21.6in x 58.5in)) Footnote: Literature: Lesley Jackson, Alaistair Morton and Edinburgh Weavers , V&A Publishing, 2012, pl.396 (illustrated). Whithorn was based on a painting Brown and Grey (1961) and commissioned by the architect Eugene Rosenberg, of Yorke, Rosenberg and Mardell for Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry. Both textile and painting were illustrated together in an article 'Art into Fabric' in Architectural Review in 1962, noting 'the original design has been modified (by the artist himself) to unite the main area of colour into a continuous vertical band,' and the article went on to note approvingly 'The similarity in the quality of edges, etc, in the original and the print does not involve any feeling of forced reproductive accuracy, but is quite at home as a material with linen's surface qualities'. (Quoted in Jackson, p.221)
