Description: The catalog to a loan exhibition which drew mostly from private Michigan collections, as well as three German museums. The majority of the objects exhibited dated from the period 1810 to 1920. In addition to the textiles and beadwork, the catalog features that most curious item, the mysterious “Arbre Croche Sketchbook”, a singular book of art drawn in at last three native artist hands, probably dating from the early-mid 19th century.
Notes: "The exhibition has been assembled from collections around the country and Europe."
