About This Item
Seattle, Washington: Marquand Books, 2011. Hardcover. New, in original shipping box. Pale blue cloth with embossed titling and decoration, brown DJ with color illus., 452 pp., 417 color illustrations. From the DJ: Presents a fascinating array of American folk art and decorative arts created in New England, New York, and Pennsylvania in the 18th and 19th centuries, along with a singular masterwork of Native American basketry woven in Nevada by Louis Keyser (a.k.a. Dat So La Lee). In this companion volume to the 2006 publication of the Jane Katcher Collection, the material is presented through brilliant photography and insightful essays. Familiar American folk traditions - portraits, quilts, weathervanes, boxes, trade signs, miniature portraits, schoolgirl art and rewards of merit, as well as furniture and Shaker objects - are examined from fresh and often innovative perspectives.
