EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handkerchief, hailing from the United States and dating back to approximately 1876, showcases the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the 19th century in America. The handkerchief, made of cotton in a plain weave, features a striking design that pays homage to the country's history and symbolism. At the center, a prominent motif of George Washington, the first President of the United States, is depicted in profile against a backdrop of stars and stripes. The design of this handkerchief reflects the propagandistic use of imagery in the late 19th century, as Washington became a powerful symbol of American national identity. The intricate weaving technique used to create the stars and stripes pattern adds to the textile's visual appeal and historical significance. This handkerchief, now preserved in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities and cultural values of the time. Its vibrant colors and intricate design continue to captivate viewers, making it a cherished object of American heritage art and a testament to the rich textile traditions of the United States.
