The practical book of early American arts and crafts
A 1916 survey of American decorative arts by Harold Donaldson Eberlein, Abbot McClure and Mabel Foster Bainbridge, issued by Lippincott in Philadelphia for collectors and craftworkers. Halftone photographs of pewter porringers, silver beakers and repoussé vessels sit alongside line redrawings of Pennsylvania German fraktur borders, giving designers hand-drawn tulip and pomegranate motifs plus silhouettes of early metalwork forms.
