This early 1900s photograph was taken by an unknown photographer at the White Rock Fair. The photograph depicts an audience crowd gathered for an event with a backdrop of textiles hung as a display. Featured textiles include a crazy quilt, a woven striped rug, another woven rug probably in a design known as Sea Star or Seven Stars, an embroidered bedspread, and a woven piece in a design known as Pine Cone Bloom, also called Pine Bloom and Pine Burr. White Rock is located a few miles east of Allanstand in Madison County, North Carolina. Frances Goodrich (1856-1944), the founder of Allanstand Cottage Industries, is the woman pictured fourth from the right in the image. Allanstand Cottage Industries was a craft cooperative founded in western North Carolina in the 1890s by Goodrich.
