02-075; Seated Baby
1890-1899
Janet E. Finley Collection of Quilt History Photographs
Rochester, Indiana, United States
Carte De Visite (CDV) c. 1889-1895
Photographer: Moore, Rochester, Indiana
Size: 2.5" x 4"
The baby is posed on a chair draped with a Baby's Blocks quilt. On closer examination, what appears to be a pieced quilt is really an example of cheater cloth, also known as printed patchwork, in a Baby Blocks or Tumbling blocks pattern. The child is unidentified, but one does know the photograph was taken by Rochester, Indiana, photographer Charles B. Moore. Mr. Moore operated his Rochester gallery from 1882-1904.
