The debate over a Russel Wright attribution to this tablecloth design rages on. I'm quite certain, however, that this attribution is incorrect. The most damning piece of evidence I am basing my opinion on is nonexistent: there is not known period literature that associates this design with Wright's name.

Found on May 24, 2005 in Brooklyn Center, MN.
