Paint, Pattern & People is a beautifully illustrated book created to accompany Winterthur's spectacular spring 2011 exhibition organized by the museum's curators of furniture, who also curated the show.

William Penn’s policy of religious tolerance attracted people of various faiths and ethnic backgrounds, making Pennsylvania the most culturally diverse of the thirteen colonies. Examining the well-documented furniture, fraktur, needlework, paintings, and architecture produced by this mixed multitude provides a clear focus on the region’s great diversity.

This landmark publication, a significant contribution to the literature in the field, presents new scholarship as well as never-before-published furniture and related objects.
