This fresh and scholarly look at a century of rug hooking in Maine
demonstrates the significant role non-woven rugs have played in
American decorative arts. True Waldoboro rugs are explored in
detail and the myth of "Acadian" rugs is explained. Edward Sands
Frost manufactured preprinted burlap rug patterns in the mid-19th
century that spawned competitions across the country. By the 1880s,
summer visitors helped organize cottage industries that turned
Maine's rug-hooking talents into income producers. The Arts and
Crafts movement in America led to new and exciting styles of rug
patterns in Maine, and by the early 20th century, artists pushed
the craft of rug hooking in to a fine art, with Marguerite Zorach's
designs among the prominent examples. This lavishly illustrated
book has over 250 color photographs that highlight the
extraordinary story of rugs created throughout Maine and eastern
Canada, including popular maritime designs by men of the seas.
