American design authority Clarence Hornung traces the history of American crafts from utilitarian objects of early American frontiersmen to ornamental showpieces of the late 19th century. From cigar-store Indians to grandfather clocks, this hefty volume offers a thorough selection of works catalogued by the Index of American Design in the 1930s for the WPA. Of the book's 2,900 illustrations (scattered throughout nearly 850 pages), 800 are in color, making Treasury of American Design and Antiques an amazing survey and a valuable resource.
