The Mouse Rider has Company
While looking at my Crazy Quilts - in search of sunflowers and Oscar Wilde influences, I reviewed the 1885 CW quilt that I posted on back in April 2018 (see http://quiltpapers.blogspot.com/2018/04/1885-crazy-quilt-puzzle.html ).
On one of the blocks was the Mouse Rider! They must have used the same 1884 ad I found and used on my 2019 QCNYS Crazy Quilt challenge.
The 1885-6 Crazy Redwork Splasher I am using for inspiration had a Donkey Rider as indicated above.
Barbara Brackman has posted some great articles regarding the connection of Oscar Wilde and early Crazy Quilts. I will be posting some images of my Oscar CQ shortly. Until then, see Barbara's blog.
