Description
This
watercolor
drawdown
and
two
drafts
illustrate
a
weave
pattern
known
as
Bonaparte's
March
.
One
draft
dates
from
1827
, the
other
draft
and the
drawdown
date
from the
early-to-mid-1900s
. To
record
a
pattern
, a
weaver
creates
a
draft
and/or
a
drawdown
. A
draft
looks
much
like
a
strip
of
musical
notation
; a
drawdown
is
a
visual
grid
that
illustrates
a
single
weaving
block
. This
drawdown
was
made
by
Frances
Louisa
Goodrich
(1856-1944)
,
who
recorded
weaving
patterns
she
collected
in and
around
Asheville
,
North
Carolina
. These
three
versions
of
Bonaparte's
March
illustrate
Goodrich’s
method
of
interpreting
drafts
that she
collected
. She
pasted
the
original
into a
notebook
and
created
her
own
numerical
version
in a
second
notebook
. She
worked
out
the
schematic
pattern
and
painted
a
watercolor
version
. The
draft
,
labeled
“Boney
Parts
March”
is
attributed
to
Phebe
Young
from
Marion
and
is
marked
“1827.”
On the
watercolor
drawdown
,
Goodrich
has
credited
Young
and
“Mrs
.
Elmeda
Walker”
and
indicated
that the
pattern
is
painted
at
“½
size.”
