John Hancock's Wallet

Archie Thompson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a textile case with intricate embroidery. The upper flap is open, revealing a richly patterned interior with text "Judith Horsey" and "Book 1777." The embroidery features vibrant colors such as greens, yellows, pinks, and reds in geometric patterns against a pink fabric background. Another smaller, monochrome image of the closed case is depicted in the bottom left corner.
