Buck, John H. & R.T.H. Halsey.
American Silver, the Work of Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century Silversmiths.
Boston; Museum of Fine Arts:1906. This exhibition was the first to be devoted exclusively to the work of American silversmiths and was of great importance in generating interest in the work of American Colonial silversmiths. It also provided valuable information to scholars and early collectors, and the enthusiasm that it generated was in large part responsible for several important subsequent exhibitions. 7"x10", 100 pages, plus 30 b&w plates; ex-library, with pocket, bookplate, stamps, etc. Rebound in old marbled boards with a ribbed leather spine; covers worn, some soil. Original wrapper bound in. Better than it sounds.
