Die Lieferung erfolgt gegen Vorauskasse Libraryf Congress Catalog Card Number ; 70-150013 // This is one of Mr. Margon's best books on the works of the master cabinetmakers, which have already become classics for architects, desginers, craftsmen, and decorators. There are fifty measured drawings showing all the fine details of construction. Each is accompanied by a photograph (many have been spe-cially taken for this volume), of that piece, and two others of related pieces or interiors, a total of over two hundred generous illustrations. In contrast to the tiny photographs found in most furniture manuals, these reveal the splendid wood grains, inlays, finishes and other features of craftsmanship. Measured drawings, photographs and the commen-tary that accompanies each piece will make you aware of well-designed furniture wherever you encounter it, as fine examples are finding their way into museums to be enjoyed by all, or are becoming available as repro-ductions within the means of many homeowners. The finest collections of the country are represented by selections from twenty-four museums. In this volume is an array of excellent essays: Our Heritage; Survey of American Furniture Periods; The Quest for Beauty; the Lure of the Antique; and Philadelphia Cabinet-makers. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow shows Mr. Margon's conclusions, the result of a lifetime of study as an apprentice, draftsman, decorator and designer, on contemporary taste. A complete section, with his-torical background essay, is devoted to chairs, the test and proof of a designer's skill. Along with names, dates, localities and other informa-tion, Mr. Margon reveals the Spirit that has created the splendid variety of American furniture, the devel-opment of which is so closely related to the growth of our country. From its marvelous diversity the author has chosen many fine examples of each style, to suit every taste, from the Pilgrim Century, the colorfully decorated Pennsylvania German, the simple Shaker, the gracefully curvilinear Queen Anne, and many others. MORE AMERICAN FURNITURE TREA-SURES is a treat for he connoisseur, reference work for the student, and introduction for the public to a fascinating realm of art, and we hope it will be an inspiration for young cabinetmakers to carry on the tradition.
