介绍（中）	这床被子的正面和背面由两种不同的印花棉制成，塞上一层棉絮，并以菱形图案绗缝在一起。背面织物翻过正面并缝合以形成边缘装订。正面由三块垂直运行的织物面板构成。五彩缤纷的印刷品展示了自由小姐重复的自然主义图案，右手拿着盾形美国国旗，左手拿着锚。在盾牌的右侧有一个聚宝盆，大金元硬币从中溢出。这些硬币还显示了自由的头部轮廓和1885年的日期。自由小姐被美国农业富饶的图像所包围，包括成捆的小麦、玉米穗、棉铃和蜂箱。背面也由三块织物制成，其中一块比自然主义更"艺术"。主要的重复图案是"翻滚块"图案拼凑的印刷面板。这种类型的图案被称为"作弊布"，因为它是对拼凑的印刷模仿。在面板的中央有一个仿十字形"补丁"，显示一个小女孩带着一把红色的大伞漂浮在天空中，上面有三只白色的鸟。印花织物在正面和背面的图案方向彼此相反。这可能是故意的，因为如果在制作床时被子的顶部折叠起来，则图案将沿着相同的方向向观察者延伸。像这样的被子和大都会收藏的其他被子（1986.342，2007.342）展示了大多数普通美国人想要的"艺术"但廉价的布料用于家庭装饰。这张被子展示了 1880 年代美国制造的布料的创新设计，这些布料是新英格兰工厂和印刷厂处于鼎盛时期时生产的。
介绍（英）	This quilt is made of two different printed cottons on the front and back, stuffed with a layer of cotton batting, and quilted together in a diamond pattern. The back fabric is turned over the front and stitched down to form the edge binding. The front is constructed of three panels of fabric running vertically. The multicolored print shows a repeating naturalistic pattern of Miss Liberty, with a shield-shaped American flag in her right hand and an anchor in her left. To the right of the shield there is a cornucopia from which large gold dollar coins spill. The coins also show Liberty’s head in profile, and the date 1885. Miss Liberty is surrounded by images of the agricultural bounty of the United States, including sheaved of wheat, ears of corn, bolls of cotton, and beehives. The back is also constructed out of three panels of fabric, one more "artistic" than naturalistic. The main repeating motif is of printed panel of "Tumbling Blocks" pattern patchwork. This type of pattern was known as "cheater cloth" because it was a printed imitation of patchwork. At the center of the panel there is an imitation cruciform "patch" that shows a little girl with a large red umbrella floating in the sky with three white birds. The direction of the pattern of the printed fabric on the front and back are opposite from one another. This may be intentional, since if the top of the quilt was folded over when the bed was made, the patterns would both run the same direction to the viewer. Quilts like this one and others in the Met’s collection (1986.342, 2007.342) demonstrate the "artistic" but inexpensive cloth desired by most common Americans for home decoration. This quilt shows the innovative design of American-made cloth in the 1880s, produced when the New England mills and printworks were at the height of their powers.
