Red and white gingham is one of the oldest and most familiar cloth patterns in American households, and this design sits within a board devoted to apples, which suggests it was used as a backdrop or wrapping for fruit subjects. Gingham takes its name from a word for striped cloth and was woven in plain, evenly spaced checks by the 1700s, becoming a staple for aprons, tablecloths and farm kitchen linens. Its crisp, orderly squares made it a favorite for still lifes and advertising, where it signaled homespun freshness. Worth noticing is how the bold check frames the fruit and turns an everyday textile into a symbol of rural plenty.
