Janet E. Finley Collection of Quilt History Photographs
UnCased Tintype c. 1880-1889
Photographer: Unknown
Size: One-half Plate (5" x 7")

Summertime and the upstairs bedroom window of this 1880s farmhouse is open to any passing breeze, giving us the opportunity to peek inside and see the Double Irish Chain quilt occupying the bed. The identities of this family grouping and where the photograph was taken will, unfortunately, remain unknown.
