Description
Stevengraph
portrait
of
U.S
.
President
Benjamin
Harrison
(1833-1901)
. This
item
was
sold
for
only
a
short
period
and
is
consequently
very
rare
.
Weaver
Thomas
Stevens
of
Coventry
,
England
,
invented
the
woven-silk
pictures
,
which
he
called
“stevengraphs.”
His
company
first
produced
woven-silk
bookmarks
in
1862
.
Coventry
,
England
, was the
heart
of a
ribbon-weaving
industry
during
the
mid-19th
century
.
Stevengraphs
were
made
using
a
jacquard
loom
in
which
mechanically
operated
devices
wove
intricate
,
three-dimensional
patterns
in
silk
. The
design
was
actually
part
of the
fabric
, not a
painted
or
dyed
image
. This
ribbon
features
a
bust
of
Benjamin
Harrison
, a
shield
and
flags
with the
Stars
and
Stripes
, and a
reproduction
of
Harrison's
signature
. A
fringe
runs
along
the
bottom
border
.
