We’re excited to see that the spring 2024 issue of the Winterthur Portfolio includes articles by two Dublin Seminar board members.
Marla R. Miller contributed “Monuments in Flax and Wool: The Memory Work of Heritage Textiles,” examining an heirloom piano scarf embroidered by Mary Wait Allis Hurlbut in 1916 that celebrated both family and regional history.
Erica Lome’s article “Stitching a Lineage: Embroidered Coats of Arms in Eighteenth-Century Boston” looks at the heraldic needlework of genteel schoolgirls and young women, preserving and displaying their family history.
In addition, the issue contains a review by Maggie M. Cao of Margaretta Markle Lovell’s book Painting the Inhabited Landscape: Fitz H. Lane and the Global Reach of Antebellum America. Prof. Lovell was the keynote speaker at our 2024 conference.
