The Don and Jean Stuck Coverlet collection at the Columbus Museum of Art is the largest public collection of these beautifully designed relics of early American culture. With works from the nine most prominent coverlet-producing states and Canada, the collection includes examples of most weave structures and has a broad representation of colors, centerfield and border designs, and corner blocks, many with personal inscriptions woven in. Clarita S. Anderson provides a comprehensive text on the development of the weaving industry in the United States, including its business aspects and the migratory patterns, ethnic traditions, and family histories of the weavers.

"This scholarly book, documenting the largest public collection of handwoven coverlets in the United States, sheds light on 19th-century American textile history in the period when the weaving industry was being mechanized."
