Essays by leading specialists discuss the culture of furniture workshops, exuberant painted decoration, techniques of sewing and quilting, and poignant stories about the families depicted in the portraits. The collection itself includes Shaker boxes, a beaded Iroquois hat, embroidered samplers, metalwork, scrimshaw, handwoven rugs, ceramics, and a weather vane. The majority of these works have never before been published. With lively essays and profuse illustrations, this handsome volume brings to life the aesthetic of early Americans living in the countryside and is an essential exploration of the period's taste and style. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, CA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (October 22, 2016-ongoing)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Glisson, John Demos, Jonathan Fielding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300247567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300247565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 9.30w x 1.10d","brand":"James Glisson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491353719039,"sku":"9780300247565","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f72ba1f9-823e-4b44-8943-bf39f420e993.jpg?v=1699450730","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/becoming-america-james-glisson-9780300247565","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
