介绍（中）	十九世纪中叶，当这条出色的被子在纽约卡梅尔（纽约市以北约五十英里的一个小镇）制作时，华丽而复杂的洛可可复兴风格正在盛开。葡萄藤和贴花缠绕成花圈，缝在表面上，让人想起同一时代纽约高级家具的丰富红木背面雕刻的装饰。虽然许多床被都是日常使用的相当朴素的物品，但这个被子在创建时会被认为是时尚和精致的。它异常良好的状况强化了这样一种观念，即它应该是"最好的"被子，只有在特殊场合才能取出以美化其制造商的家。埃米琳·特拉维斯·卢丁顿（Emeline Travis Ludington）对她的被子有着雄心勃勃的艺术愿景，布置和缝合了令人惊叹的整体设计，并在边缘添加了不寻常的扇形饰面细节。卢丁顿嫁给了银行家乔治，是六个孩子的母亲。她的被子制作技巧除了这件作品之外是没有记载的。
介绍（英）	In the mid-nineteenth century, at the time this outstanding quilt was made in Carmel, New York, a town about fifty miles north of New York City, the florid and intricate Rococo Revival Style was in full bloom. The grapevines and appliquéd flowers entwined into wreaths stiched onto the surface are reminiscent of the decoration found carved into the rich rosewood backs of high-style New York furniture of the same era. While many bed quilts are quite modest objects meant for everyday use, this one would have been considered stylish and sophisticated when it was created. Its exceptionally good condition reinforces the notion that it was meant to be a "best" quilt, taken out only on special occasions to beautify its maker's home. Emeline Travis Ludington had an ambitious artistic vision for her quilt, laying out and stiching a stunning overall design and adding an unusual scalloped finishing detail to the edges. Ludington was married to a banker, George, and was the mother of six children. Her quilt-making skill is undocumented beyond this piece.
