His prominence had been lost to history until the discovery of his account book at the Amer. Philosophical Soc. The earliest and most complete account book to have survived from any cabinetmaker working in Brit. North Amer. or in Great Britain, it records thousands of transactions over a 35-year period (1718-1753). This volume represents the definitive interpretation of the Head's account book. Profusely illustrated and with a comprehensive general index, it is an essential reference work on 18th-cent. Phila., its furniture and material culture, and a detailed social history of that era's artisans and merchants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Robert Stiefel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0871692716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871692719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Philosophical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.80h x 10.20w x 1.60d","brand":"Jay Robert Stiefel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372586782975,"sku":"9780871692719","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04cfc55c-42c4-405a-91a4-0943bb0b8a74.jpg?v=1732726382","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cabinetmakers-account-jay-robert-stiefel-9780871692719","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
