Historisches Textil
c. 1940
Abraham Lincoln sits at the heart of this bustling textile, encircled by a ring of blue stars and labeled 'The Great President.' Radiating outward are petal-shaped portraits of Union generals like Grant and Sherman, guarded by fierce eagles clutching American flags. The design is a patriotic explosion of red, white, and blue, featuring scenes of New York and Baltimore. Although it evokes the 1860s Civil War era, this piece by Ernest Capaldo dates to around 1940, likely serving as a nostalgic commemoration of the Union's victory.
