The design of a scarf featuring various charming figures by James Thurber—men, women, dogs, and rabbits—takes drawings apparently created for other purposes and arranges them in a plain geometric pattern. They are unified on a stylized lawn with a simple border of grass and flowers, additional flowers being spread across the field of the scarf. The date and the designer are unclear. The scarf is printed in black on yellow but there is another version in black on white, and it very likely exists in other colors as well.

Note: I'm eager to hear from anyone with information about this scarf design utilizing images by James Thurber. Are its origins with the Thurber House? Is it by a known designer. When was it released? What did it originally cost? How many color combinations are there? Was it part of a series? More photographs would be welcome.
