Note:
By tradition, the pattern source for the “Quaker Farmer“ or “Cow China” pattern was a 7 ½ in. x 2 ¾ in. graphite and ink wash sketch by Mary Hollingsworth Morris (1776-1820), wife of Israel Wistar Morris (1778-1870), an investor in the China trade, of Philadelphia. The drawing purportedly accompanied Mary’s brother, Henry Hollingsworth, a supercargo for the shipping firm of Willing & Francis, to China. It is thought that Mary’s inspiration was a Dutch source or the Hollingsworth family Philadelphia-area farm “Greenhill.”
