The Amethyst, Brazil by Martine Johnson Heade, 1863-1865 From the Julian Wood Glass Jr. Collection. This painting is one of approximately twelve finished works from a projected series of at least twenty representations of hummingbirds that Martine Johnson Heade executed onsite in Brazil. He titled the group The Gems of Brazil. This work’s title cleverly refers to the vivid purple color of one of the bird’s throats. Indeed, all completed works in The Gems take their titles from their tiny subjects’ plumage.

Virginia Star Quilt, Shenandoah Valley (attributed), ca. 1880 Shenandoah Valley Collection Some people in the Valley would call this five-row pieced quilt pattern a Virginia Star. Others here would say this pattern is a Star of Bethlehem, or even a Harvest Star. Each one of the quilt’s stars is composed of seventy-two pieces of green, red, and yellow cotton. The bleached cotton ground is bordered with a green saw-tooth pattern.
