Historic silver of the Colonies and its makers
Francis Hill Bigelow's 1917 study of American colonial silver, published by Macmillan in New York for collectors, curators and antiquarians cataloguing the work of early silversmiths. Halftone photographs isolate single vessels against plain grey grounds — tankards, two-handled cups, porringers, flagons — with maker's marks, repouss\u00e9 cartouches and scrolled handles legible as clean silhouettes for cutout use.
