As it is a national  not a regional institution  the Museum does not restrict its collection by location  nor is it restricted by time period: The quilts have been made all over the country and range in date from the late-eighteenth to the late-twentieth century. Until this publication  however  there has been no comprehensive guide to the Museums quilts  almost all of which have been donated by collectors in the field. Highlights from the collection have been published and exhibited many times  but the purpose of this book is to provide an opportunity for quiltmakers  collectors  scholars  and others to explore the collection in depth. The comprehensive discussion of the quilts has been divided into eleven chapters that are illustrated with 141 color plates. This text is then followed by a catalog of the entire collection  which in turn contains forty-four black-and-white illustrations. Here  then  is a richly handsome and informative volume that will prove to be essential for all those fascinated by this category of American folk art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666206482485,"sku":"ByrdShop_0670869139","price":42.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780670869138.jpg?v=1782423150","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/glorious-american-quilts-the-quilt-collection-of-the-museum-of-american-folk-art-9780670869138","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
