EDITORS COMMENTS
The "Garfield and Arthur Quilt" is a remarkable piece of American history captured in fabric. Created around 1880 by Annie Ensminger Kready or Louisa Ensminger, this patchwork quilt showcases a promotional handkerchief featuring the portraits of James A. Garfield and Chester B. Arthur, who ran for and won the 1880 US election. This intricate bedcover serves as both a decorative masterpiece and a memento of an important political era. The vibrant floral print cotton fabric adds color to any bedroom it graces, while its pieced quilt design reflects the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. It is fascinating to think that this quilt witnessed such significant events in American politics. President Garfield's assassination less than four months after his election marked a tragic turning point, leading Vice President Arthur to succeed him as president. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this heritage artwork offers us a glimpse into 19th-century America. Its combination of printed cotton plain and twill weave fabrics demonstrates not only the skillful needlework but also represents the country's rich craft traditions. As we admire this creation, let us remember its historical significance - reminding us that even through tragedy, art can preserve moments that shaped our nation's destiny.
