EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of American craftsmanship, the "Woven Wool Coverlet" created by William P. Shearwood in approximately 1937. The coverlet, dating back to the early 19th century, is a true testament to Shearwood's artistic talent and dedication to preserving traditional decorative arts. The intricate design of this functional blanket features an array of motifs that pay homage to American heritage and patriotism. A majestic eagle, symbolizing freedom and strength, takes center stage amidst a backdrop of vibrant blue wool. Surrounding the eagle are meticulously woven floral patterns and shields adorned with stars - all representing the rich history and identity of the United States. Shearwood's attention to detail is evident in every thread as he masterfully combines watercolor and graphite on paper to create this stunning work of art. This particular piece was part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , showcasing its significance within American cultural history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but feel a sense of pride for our country while appreciating Shearwood's skillful craftsmanship. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects like blankets can hold deep meaning when infused with creativity and love for one's nation. This print not only captures an exquisite example from America's past but also invites us to reflect on our shared heritage as we celebrate Independence Day each July 4th.
