Issued in conjunction with a 2001-2002 exhibition featuring the work of Candace Wheeler (1827-1932), who "changed the course of textile and interior design in nineteenth-century America and was a driving force behind the professionalization of women in the design field. Inspired by the embroideries produced by England's Royal School of Art Needlework, which she saw at the 1876 Centennial Exposition, Philadelphia, Wheeler founded the Society of Decorative Art in New York. ... This publication ... contains a biographical essay and a catalogue of about one hundred designs for textiles, wallpaper, and other interior furnishings by Wheeler and her associates." (dj).
