New Nation circa 1830-1870 by Nancy Gere for Windham Fabrics
This collection features accurate reproductions of the vintage fabrics from the time period when "blues" became a popular fad.
During these years, textile printers from the Alsace region of France were producing what many considered the best in calico printing and the American mills were eager to keep up with their European counterparts. The excellence and authenticity of the New Nation collection is just a small sampling of the type of designs that were produced during this time. The delicate engravings found in this line yield designs that offer both breadth and flatness of field. The simplicity and pureness of tint are rightly prized today in the same manner as they were by the original artists.
