- The Pennsylvania-German Decorated Chest
~Usually Ships Within 2-3 Days
- -Monroe Fabian (Author) / Hardcover 248 Pages / Published May 2004
In the field of art and antiques, few books survive the test of time to become regarded as "classics." Monroe Fabian's 1978 edition
of The Pennsylvania-German Decorated Chest is such a work. With more than two hundred fifty illustrations, this book is a visual feast
of decorated chests. Now, more than twenty-five years later, this book still stands as the only significant work to be published on the
subject of the Pennsylvania German decorated chest. It is the preeminent encyclopedia of Pennsylvania German blanket chests. Collectors,
scholars and curators rely upon its images to identify the accepted standard of decorated chests. Fabian's thoroughness in identifying so
many different chests means that readers have a suitable beginning point for comparing examples that they own or may come to view. With this
edition, new color photography has been obtained or as many of the original chests as could be identified. Also where recent scholarship has
produced new information, attributions and other information has been corrected. With a new foreword and updated photography, including an expanded
color section and several new examples, this volume will be of interest to collectors, scholars, and all those who have a love of the richly decorated
chests made by the Pennsylvania Germans. Includes 250 color and black & white photos.
