Janet E. Finley Collection of Quilt History Photographs
Silver Gelatin Print c. 1923-1926
Photographer: Unknown
Size: 2.5" x 3.5"
I am assuming, because of her fresh flower bouquet, this is an outdoor portrait of newlyweds posing in front of an incredible Crazy quilt. When randomly patched blocks are framed or contained by wide strips of prints or solids (in this case, plaid fabric), this is a style referred to as a Contained Crazy.
