John Caton Moose Pillow, Copper Colored Thread
This is very nice moose. This embroidery design is based upon an engraving on the front cover an old book, The Antelope and Deer of America, by John Dean Caton, LL.D. — published in 1877. This book is now in the public domain.
John Caton was a very interesting man. He lived from 1812 to 1895, and became the chief justice of the Illinois Supreme Court. Abraham Lincoln was an attorney in 214 cases that were brought before judge Caton. Judge Caton was fond of fishing, hunting, camping out, the wild life of the woods and mountains, and where the wildness of the nature remained undefaced. He published a number of scientific papers and books — among them: Origin of the Prairies, The American Cervus (deer), The Wild Turkey and Its Domestication, The Philosophy of the Yosemite Valley, and The Philosophy of the Petrified Forest of California. His most significant scientific work was his book, The Antelope and Deer of America. It has many fine illustrations — but this cover graphic is a true classic.
The original graphic appears as if it was a woodcut, and the graphic appears to be gold-leafed.
Of course, we can embroider this design for you in just about any color thread. For our first two designs we decided to use a gold thread and a copper colored thread. Both are beautiful.
While this item is a pillow, this design would be a great on a sweatshirt. If you could envision yourself wearing this design on a sweatshirt, please request a custom order.
