Woodward's framing label
This Woodward's Department Store framing label is barely hanging on to
the shredded backing paper on a limited edition colour print by
Orville Fisher dated 1930 (courtesy
private collection). The label was printed by Dennison USA.
It is interesting that the label has order number 9650
hand-written on it, which may help benchmark other artworks framed
with Woodward's labels. Although they were probably once quite
common in Vancouver, I had not seen a single one prior to this.
I didn't measure it, but height was about 2.5 inches, width about
1.75 inches. The text height for "Dennison" was a touch under 1/16
of an inch (or so).
