Summary
Produced by Kokusai Art in Tokyo with the cooperation of the Maryland Historical Society to accompany a hugely popular and successful traveling exhibition in Japan, this catalog traces the development of the colorful, Maryland-made Baltimore Album quilt from its origins in the applique and broderie perse quilts to the later 1850s pieced star quilts. Magnificently designed and illustrated, the book captures in 160 full-color photographs the extraordinarily complicated and intricate work performed by Maryland women in the first half of the nineteenth century and places their wonderful art in historical context.
