This example of We may not have been finished, as the other printed cotton versions have yellow and pinkish-red colors that were applied over the initial treatment of indigo discharge printing, which is seen
here. The discharge technique employs a bleaching agent to selectively remove color from a fabric that has been dyed solid blue. This design was also made as a printed velveteen.
