“Throughout North America during the early 19th century, bed coverlets were usually machine woven in either wool or cotton
And were deemed to be essential household items. The Jacquard weaving system, which was introduced during this period and named after the French inventor, used punched cards to control the loom. This resulted in highly detailed designs. Amongst the pioneer weavers using this system was Harry Tyler, and like many of his contempories, he always included a unique motif. In his case, it was an English Lion, later changed to the American Bald Eagle. It is to the memory of Harry Tyler that this sampler is dedicated.”
