介绍（中）	哈里·泰勒（Harry Tyler）制作的封面可能是纽约州经典的双面布封面中最受认可和赞赏的例子。目前已知他的作品有三百多个。这张封面是泰勒工作室在1834年至19世纪40年代早期制作的早期产品的一个例子，这些产品以其引人注目的标志性角落块展示了一只大而英俊的狮子而闻名。田野上装饰着风格化的花卉、星星和雪花图案，设置在对角网格图案中，而边界上有明显的代表性果树，与尖桩围栏交替。从19世纪40年代中期开始制作的泰勒被单（见1997.343），有角块，上面有美国鹰，上面有星星；根据家族历史，之所以发生这种变化，是因为泰勒的长子埃尔曼认为，英国的象征狮子应该被更爱国的美国主题所取代。在泰勒编织的二十四年里，从1834年到1858年，为了跟上当时流行的设计潮流，他每年都会对角落块的外观和床罩的实地设计进行小的（有时是大的）改变。
介绍（英）	Coverlets made by Harry Tyler are perhaps the most recognized and appreciated examples of classic New York State doublecloth coverlets. More than three hundred examples of his work are known to be extant. This coverlet is an example of the Tyler workshop’s early products made between 1834 and the early 1840s, which are known for their appealing trademark corner block showing a large and handsome lion. The field is decorated with stylized floral, star, and snowflake designs set in a diagonal grid pattern, while the border has clearly representational fruit trees alternating with a picket fence. Tyler coverlets made from the mid-1840s on, (see 1997.343), have corner blocks with American eagles surmounted by stars; according to family history, this change took place because Tyler’s oldest son Elman opined that the lion, the symbol of England, should be replaced with a more patriotic American motif. Over the twenty-four years that Tyler was weaving, from 1834 to 1858, he made small (and sometimes large) changes to the look of the corner blocks and field designs of his coverlets each year in order to keep up with the popular design trends of his day.
