Description: | 'Our England' refers to the traditional English country garden, depicted here in full flower. Each piece of rag, known as a 'clipping' has been dyed by hand. Mat making was popular in the North East of England from about 1850, flourishing during the depression in the 1920's and 1930's while it was dying out in many other parts of the country. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East home life textiles makers contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
