About this book

Calico & Chintz: Antique Quilts from the Collection of Patricia S. Smith by Adamson, Jeremy Elwell. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780937311356.

Th magnificent quilts in the Patricia S. Smith Collection are rare examples. Created before 1850, when colorful printed cottons were prestige fabrics imported from England and France, they fill an important gap in our knowledge of early quilts and the textiles used to make them. In a comprehensive essay, Renwick Gallery curator Jeremy Adamson discusses the origins and history or printed textiles in quilts made before 1850.
