Talking of peacocks made me go through a recent gift of old Dutch/German embroidery patterns from between the wars. A friend was downsizing and I was the lucky recipien of about 40 envelopes.. There were several different patterns that showed peacocks. I can see several different interpretations for the patterns, not just embroidery. Lacemaking pictures would have fun with them.
If there is someone out there who is studying prewar designers, I would be interested in talking to them about the patterns.
