Quilt c. 1936

This drawing by Isabelle De Strange, c. 1936, depicts a "Quilt" from the original textile of the same name. This piece, likely a woven coverlet, is a reproduction of a textile with the inscription "United We Stand Divided We Fall 1841." The intricate floral pattern and vibrant color palette are characteristic of American textile art from the early 19th century. The inscription on the quilt serves as a reminder of the social and political context of the time, highlighting the importance of unity in the face of division. The drawing itself offers a detailed and accurate representation of the original quilt, capturing its unique design and craftsmanship.
