Coverlet c. 1936

"Coverlet" is a design for a woven textile created in 1936 by American artist Edward White (1855-1995). The design utilizes red and blue floral motifs on a white background, resembling a checkered pattern. The piece is a flat design, likely intended for a printed textile design, rather than a completed coverlet. The design is typical of the revival of interest in traditional handcrafts in the 1930s and 1940s.
