ARLY AMERICAN ATA a, BROOKLYN MUSEUM FEBRUARY 1924 > 446 463 450 Lent by Mrs. Lathrop Colgate Harper (NOTE. The cover design of this catalogue illustrates a patch and stuffed quilt, Lent by Mr. Omri F. Hibbard) Brooklyn Museum CATALOGUE OF EARLY AMERICAN HANDICRAFT COMPRISING COSTUMES, QUILTS, COVERLETS, SAMPLERS, LACES, EMBROIDERIES, AND OTHER RELATED OBJECTS OPENING, FEBRUARY 4, 1924 “A PEOPLE THAT TAKES NO PRIDE IN THE NOBLE ACHIEVEMENTS OF REMOTE ANCESTORS WILL NEVER ACHIEVE ANYTHING WORTHY TO BE REMEMBERED WITH PRIDE BY REMOTE DESCENDANTS.” Macaulay FOREWORD The present exhibition of old American handicrafts pro- vides the means of obtaining so many glimpses into the old time life of our people, so much of insight into their manners and social conditions that it cannot fail to bring to us a sense of pride that we are descendants of the sturdy stock which pro- duced these objects so often beautiful or ingenious and so invariably practical and honest. The occasion must also give cause for speculation as to whether our grandchildren will be able to assemble collections of equal charm and interest as memorials to our own industry in this age of manifold conveniences and aids to easy accom- plishment. How well we know a site which within our own memory has been occupied in succession by several buildings each of which has given place to another in the ease and rush of present day creation, we feel sure that the current structure will prove but temporary and our builders may congratulate themselves on having accomplished a vast amount of work but not on any lasting results. The efforts of our forefathers were confined to the slow and laborious creation of necessary and practical things, decoration was always a secondary considera- tion, usefulness, honest work, durability were the fundamental aims and requirements. The objects which have been assembled were nearly all the work of women, they have their distinct historic and artistic interest but also the great virtue that they are really organic creations, fashioned from necessity and therefore with a real sense of fitness; the decorative elements arise naturally from the possibilities of the mediums employed, the designs for the woven coverlets, for example, are always governed by and beautifully adapted to the method of the work, the most intricate designs of a patch-quilt took their forms from the frank and economical desire to utilize the scraps. Such work must serve to remind us how wrongly we are apt to consider art as something detached from life and reality. To Mrs. Clarence Reginald Hyde is due great credit for having assisted the Museum in the assembling of a large part of the current exhibit. With genuine appreciation of the real value and importance of these objects and with most sympa- thetic knowledge of sources which otherwise through reticence might have remained obscure, she has enlisted the generous cooperation of many friends of public interest who have con- tributed cherished family treasures recognizing that in their display by the Museum they have found their most useful and appropriate setting. We feel that the resulting exhibition is thus of unique importance not only because of its artistic and historic value, but especially because of its ethical and social meaning. Pid. wy.
