Yarn Picture c. 1941

"Yarn Picture" (c. 1941) by Edward Unger is a unique and detailed work of art created using yarn. The artwork depicts a rural scene with buildings, trees, and figures, all rendered with meticulous precision using different colored threads. This piece exemplifies Unger's skill in creating intricate compositions with a folk art sensibility. The text at the bottom, "ESTATE OF JOHN APPLEYARD IN THE YEAR 1851, MARKED NUMBER...", adds a historical and personal touch to the scene, further emphasizing the artist's attention to detail and storytelling through yarn.
