EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Pillow Cover (Furnishing Fabric) from the late 19th century in the United States. Created by an unknown artist, this piece depicts a remarkable scene that captures the essence of American patriotism and history. The focal point of the design is an impressive American eagle soaring above Philadelphia's Memorial Hall and Art Gallery. This architectural marvel was constructed to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the signing of the US Declaration of Independence in 1876. The eagle, symbolizing freedom and strength, adds a touch of grandeur to this already magnificent building. The fabric itself is made from cotton plain weave, backed with cotton twill weave for added durability. The intricate pattern on this pillow cover is achieved through engraved roller printing techniques, resulting in a beautifully detailed image. With its rich colors and decorative elements, this textile serves as both functional bed linen and an artistic expression of national pride. It represents not only a significant historical event but also highlights America's love for art and design during that era. Preserved through time, this Heritage Art piece now resides within the collection at the Art Institute Chicago—an institution dedicated to preserving such cultural treasures. As we admire this stunning creation by an anonymous artist, we are reminded of our nation's past achievements and inspired to continue celebrating our shared heritage today.
