Data Portraits in Paris 1900 Cross Stitch Pattern

In 1900, W.E.B. Du Bois unveiled a striking series of hand-drawn charts and infographics at the Paris World Fair, capturing the African American experience for a global audience. This counted cross stitch design by Shaded Stitchery is an interpretation of that historic work, honoring both Du Bois's artistry and the vital data he preserved.
