EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Album Quilt" created by Sarah Ann Wilson in New York, 1854. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this quilt is a remarkable piece of art that predates the American Civil War. What makes it truly special is its portrayal of sensitively depicted African American figures, possibly representing Wilson's own family. The faces and hands of these figures are appliqued and embroidered using brown fabric, showcasing Wilson's skillful needlework. In the bottom right corner, a hand-and-heart motif adds an extra touch of sentimentality to this heartfelt creation. It is believed that Sarah Ann Wilson herself may have been a free black woman living in New York during this time. The quilt itself features a stunning combination of dyed, undyed, and printed cotton plain weave fabrics along with cotton and silk velvet fabric. The intricate patchwork design incorporates floral patterns that beautifully complement the overall composition. As we delve into this historical masterpiece through the lens of Heritage Images' photo print, we are transported back to 19th century America—a time when craftsmanship thrived and quilts like these adorned bedrooms as cherished bedcovers.
