Embroidered by Julia Ann Fitch American
1807
Not on view
Das Hauptbild dieses Familienchronik-Sticktuchs von Julia-Ann Fitch aus Hatfield, Massachusetts, zeigt eine sitzende junge Dame, die ein Buch zum damals heiß diskutierten Tagesthema, Bildung für Frauen, liest. 13 Kreise umringen den Mittelkreis; die meisten enthalten die Namen und Daten Julia-Anns direkter Familienmitglieder. Sie demonstrierte auch ihren Patriotismus: Einer der unteren Kreise ist eine Hommage an George Washingtons Leben und seinen kurz zurückliegenden Tod 1799 und ein anderer zeigt das Geburtsdatum der neuen Nation.
