The Arts & Crafts in New England is an essential historical survey that documents the rich tradition of craftsmanship in colonial America. Compiled by George Francis Dow, this work offers a meticulous examination of the decorative and industrial arts as they flourished in the New England colonies during the eighteenth century.
Through a comprehensive collection of advertisements and news items extracted from contemporary newspapers, the book provides a unique window into the professional lives of early American artisans. It covers a diverse range of disciplines, including painting, engraving, silverwork, pottery, and furniture making. By presenting primary source material, the work captures the evolution of taste, the introduction of new materials, and the development of local industries that shaped the aesthetic identity of the region.
Scholars, historians, and collectors will find The Arts & Crafts in New England to be an invaluable resource for understanding the social and economic foundations of early American art. It stands as a testament to the ingenuity and skill of the craftsmen and women who built the material culture of a burgeoning nation, making it a cornerstone for any study of American history and decorative arts.
