Analysis of Coverlet Fragments in the Tandy & Charles Hersh Fragment Collection
On this page I will share my analysis of coverlet fragments from the Tandy & Charles Collection.
Tandy & Charles Hersh wrote a book entitled Rural Pennsylvania German Weaving 1833-1857 and the Christian Frey and Henry Small, Jr. Pattern Books. The Hersh's compare Christian Frey and Henry Small biographical info, weaving business, and weaving drafts. They considered Frey and Small to be representative of the weavers in rural Pennsylvania in the 1830s through 1850s.
Below find my analysis of fragments in their collection.
