05-010; James William Evans, Post Mortem
1920-1929
Janet E. Finley Collection of Quilt History Photographs
Real Photo Postcard (RPPC), dated 1924
Photographer: Unknown
Size: 3.5" x 4.5"
This post mortem baby looks like a new born or very close to a new born. His mother gently laid him on a feather pillow along with a scrappy patchwork quilt. Penciled in cursive, on the postcard's verso, are two lines: "James William Evans" and "Borned December 17, 1924."
-- With permission of the publisher, excerpted from Janet E. Finley, Quilts in EveryDay Life 1855-1955 (Schiffer Publishing, 2012).
