EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Afghan Carriage Robe, created by the talented J. Howard Iams in 1937. The vibrant colors and intricate embroidery on this textile masterpiece transport us to a bygone era of elegance and craftsmanship. The robe's rich blue fabric serves as a canvas for a mesmerizing tapestry of multi-colored stitches that depict the cultural heritage of Afghanistan. Horses, symbolic of power and grace, are beautifully rendered with meticulous attention to detail, capturing their majestic essence. Iams' artistry shines through in every stitch, showcasing his mastery of design and decoration. This artifact not only represents the beauty of Afghan culture but also highlights the fusion between American creativity and traditional craftmanship. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this piece is part of the esteemed Index of American Design collection. It stands as a testament to Iams' contribution to preserving cultural heritage through his watercolor gouache and pen-and-ink technique. As we admire this extraordinary creation, we are reminded of how art transcends borders, connecting people from different countries and cultures. The Afghan Carriage Robe encapsulates both transportation history and artistic expression within its threads—a true treasure that continues to inspire awe today.
