EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Map of North America (Handkerchief)" created in Glasgow in 1811. The anonymous creator, along with engraver R. Gray after Robert Wilkinson, skillfully crafted this intricate piece of art that represents a significant moment in history. The map is printed on cotton plain weave fabric, giving it a unique and delicate texture. Its vibrant colors and detailed copperplate printing make it visually striking and engaging to explore. As a decorative object, it adds an air of sophistication to any space. The map itself provides valuable insight into the geographical features of North America during the 19th century. It depicts the vast Atlantic Ocean separating Britain from its colonies across the sea. The inclusion of bunches of grapes symbolizes abundance and prosperity, highlighting the importance of agriculture in this era. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this handkerchief serves as both a memento and propaganda tool for those who owned or displayed it proudly. It embodies Scottish heritage artistry while also promoting British influence over North America at that time. Preserved by the Art Institute Chicago, this woven textile offers us a glimpse into history through its exquisite craftsmanship and historical significance. Whether admired for its artistic beauty or studied for its cultural context, this Map of North America (Handkerchief) remains an intriguing artifact from centuries past.
