Records are reviewed and revised, and the American Folk Art Museum welcomes additional information. To help improve this record, please email photoservices@folkartmuseum.orgThis beautiful and very well-preserved coverlet can be identified as the work of prolific Jefferson County weaver, Harry Tyler, based on documented examples in the same pattern. With its expressive lions and progressions of fruit trees, the composition makes for an exuberant representation of mid-19th century weaving traditions. The indigo and white colors are typical of Tyler’s work and of New York state coverlets more broadly; the pattern is characteristic of the earlier part of his career.http://nodes.emuseum.com/BU1BGBAG/apis/emuseum/network/v1/vocabularies/termMaster20753http://nodes.emuseum.com/BU1BGBAG/apis/emuseum/network/v1/vocabularies/termMaster20753http://nodes.emuseum.com/BU1BGBAG/apis/emuseum/network/v1/vocabularies/termMaster2075318421842 2021 12 1 Object information is a work in progress and may be updated with new research.
