Blankets of all kinds appear in advertisements, account books, journals, as well as genre paintings and prints. Checked blankets in particular usually show up often depicted in paintings and prints as "window pane" check, although other even checks and what we would now call plaids are also represented. Blankets re-purposed into coats were a common practice in the 18th century.
