              <text>	These images of an African American man was used as a pattern for hand woven linens produced and sold by the Spinning Wheel shop in Asheville, N.C. between 1925 and 1942. The Spinning Wheel was opened as a weaving studio and regional craft shop in 1925 by Clementine Douglas. The studio became known for its hand woven linens embellished with "picture weave" motifs. A larger design, such as a farm scene, was worked on larger linens with the figures singled out for smaller pieces like napkins. The design at lower right was done on heavy tracing paper. The upper image was done on heavy linen paper and served as the pattern used by the weavers at their looms.</text>
