Description
New York: Abrams with The Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum, Inc, 2007. Hardcover. VG/VG (wear to board edges, corners & spine ends. dustjacket has scuffs, scratches & rubbing to corners; may have sticker remnant to back). Cream pictorial boards with color-pictorial dj; illus. flyleaves, 207 pp. with 187 mostly color illustrations. This book "places the quilts in their historical and cultural contexts, looking at the lives of the makers as well as the political and economic developments that affected their materials and design. ... These quilts also provide a means of examining the international textile trade as well as new developments in textile technology, such as mechanized cotton spinning and weaving and calico printing, including recent scientific discoveres about early American techniques. ... Henry Francis du Pont collected textiles not only because he loved the fabrics, the colors, and the history the quilts represented for him, but also because he loved to decorate. ... [This book] is much more than the presentation of a significant quilt collection or the record of a superlative museum exhibition. It is also an extraordinary evocation of daily life in the early American republic." (dj).
