EDITORS COMMENTS

Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this period item is part of the esteemed Index of American Design collection—a testament to its historical significance within American heritage art. Through watercolor and graphite on paper, Sterling brings her vision to life with meticulous attention to detail, creating an enduring masterpiece that continues to inspire generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time—to an era where creativity flourished amidst challenging circumstances. Ella Josephine Sterling's "Valance" reminds us not only of our nation's artistic legacy but also celebrates the ingenuity and resilience found within every stitch—truly capturing the essence of United States' cultural identity during this transformative period.
