Description This is for a 2-piece blue/white double weave Jacquard coverlet dated 1846 with the "Lily" cornerblock, which has been attributed to an early James Craig trademark. Craig was a weaver in several locations in Indiana. He was probably in Andersonville, just over the Franklin-Decatur County line when he wove this coverlet. The reference for this information is on pages 18-19 of "Indiana Coverlet Weavers and Their Coverlets" by Pauline Montgomery (Hoosier Heritage Press, 1974).  As with all double weaves, the colors are reversed on the two sides (compare photos #1 with #2, and #3 with #4); and there are 4 corner blocks (instead of the usual 2), a very nice device not commonly used. It also shows that the coverlet has not been cut down.  Condition is good, but not outstanding. The coverlet was made without fringe, except the bottom border, where it is somewhat worn. There is some staining, a couple small holes, and several smaller worn spots. These worst of these are pictured in Photos #6-#8.  Still the coverlet displays well, and has nice graphics. The coverlet's dimensions are approximately 72" wide by 83" long.
