EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'The Quilting Room, Washington's Headquarters (i.e. Morris-Jumel Mansion), New York, N.Y.' dates back to the early 20th century, between 1905 and 1915. The image offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of American history that shaped our nation's future. The Morris-Jumel Mansion, located in Washington Heights, New York City, served as the headquarters for General George Washington during the final months of the American Revolutionary War, from 1776 to 1778. This historic dwelling, with its elegant architecture and timeless charm, has stood the test of time, bearing witness to the rich history of our country. In this photograph, we see a cozy room adorned with period furniture, including a large wooden table piled high with quilts and fabric. Women, dressed in elegant bonnets and dresses, are seen intently working on their quilts, their faces focused and determined. A comfortable chair, complete with a plush cushion, invites relaxation, while a hat rests on a nearby table, a reminder of the outdoor activities that would have taken place during this time. The room's interior is a testament to the fashion and design of the era, with simple yet elegant furnishings and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The dry plate negative glass, 8 x 10 inches in size, captures the essence of this historic site and the women who once called it home. This photograph, from the collections of the Library of Congress, is a poignant reminder of the important role that the Morris-Jumel Mansion played in American history and the daily lives of those who lived during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is a treasure trove of historical significance, offering a glimpse into a time when our nation was forged through the courage and determination of its people.
