This four-page brochure was created by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, a division of the United States Department of Interior, to accompany a 1969 exhibition of "Basketry by Eva Wolfe." The exhibitions were held at Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual, an artisan cooperative in Cherokee, North Carolina. Eva Queen Wolfe (1922-2004) was an accomplished basket maker who specialized in double weave rivercane baskets. The exhibition featured 18 of Wolfe's baskets, all of them rivercane. A photograph of Wolfe was included in the brochure. From 1969 through 1985, the Indian Arts and Crafts Board and Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual, Inc. sponsored a series of exhibitions to promote Cherokee crafts. This was the first exhibition in that series. The brochures for these exhibits were reformatted and republished as "Contemporary Artists and Craftsmen of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians" in 1987.
