Pocket (USA)
This is a Pocket. It is dated ca. 1870 and we acquired it in 1916. Its medium is cotton and its technique is printed on plain weave. It is a part of the Textiles department.
Simple drawstring pouches were used by women to carry small items like needle cases and thread. This plain-woven textile is similar in its color scheme and design to the swatches in sample book 1950-99-1.
