Discussion of the crafts and industries of the Shakers. See also: call #9789.A7 K63, ID #2914 for 1984 Paperback edition. "...in this book an expert on collecting and Americana describes for the first time the full resources of their industries and crafts against the background of the history that inspired their productiveness. Among their occupations are tinsmithing, woodworking, weaving, spinning, sewing, basketry, and clockmaking, presented here with illustrations made by Charles Klamkin especially for the book. Altogether they constitute a rich legacy from our folk heritage and a source of endless reward for collectors" (from the publishers description, front flap). "Gnelson" signature on 1st flyleaf |
