EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the "Mariners Compass" or "Sunburst" quilt, created by an anonymous American School artist in the mid-19th century. Measuring 189.2x207 cm, this appliqued cotton masterpiece is housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. The vibrant red fabric serves as a striking backdrop for the intricate design that adorns this textile treasure. The quilt features a stunning sunburst pattern with meticulously crafted star-shaped motifs radiating from its center like beams of sunlight. The borders are adorned with delicate patterns and designs that further enhance its visual appeal. This exceptional example of handicrafts from yesteryears showcases not only the skill and artistry of its creator but also represents a significant part of American textile history. Its timeless charm transcends generations, making it a true work of art. With every stitch carefully placed, this mariner's compass-inspired quilt captures both attention and admiration. It serves as a testament to the creativity and dedication poured into such handcrafted pieces during an era when textiles were cherished heirlooms passed down through generations. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' photographic expertise, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece even if we cannot witness it firsthand at the Dallas Museum of Art. This print allows us to marvel at its intricate details and be transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship reigned supreme.
