 : Maine Antique Digest, February 2006   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
As Maine Antique Digest readers may remember, Edward Sands Frost (1843-1894) of Biddeford, Maine, was the inventor of the first hooked rug patterns to be printed in full color on burlap and sold commercially in the United States.
The business continued in Biddeford until about the turn of the 20th century, when the metal stencil plates were sold to Henry F. Whiting of Lowell, Massachusetts.
The lion burlap pattern is also very faded and has a row of nail holes along the left edge, which might indicate that it had once been attached to a hooking frame with the intention, never carried out, of hooking the pattern as a rug.
