Artifact Overview
Renowned agricultural scientist George Washington Carver created many things during his career, almost all derived from plants. This included using cotton or linen fiber to make antimacassars, doilies and other decorative needle work. After Carver's death, the Carver Seal Committee began selling this image of his handiwork to help build the endowment of the George Washington Carver Foundation (formed in 1940).
