The Original Limited Edition, w/Correspondence & the Original Prospectus-
4. Andrews, Edward Deming & Faith. "Shaker Furniture. The Craftsmanship of an American Communal Sect" New Haven; Yale University Press: 1937. Edition limited to 500 copies. The first, limited edition, printing of this classic work. The Andrews, who gained access to many East Coast Shaker communities and were welcomed by the remaining members, were the first to focus not only on how Shaker furniture reflected the inherent tenets of Shaker society, but on Shaker furniture as an important art form worth examination in its own right. They integrated their study of the two aspects, showing how the tenets fed the art, and vice-versa. "The eventual result of this penetration of religion into the workshop", Andrews writes, "was the discarding of all values in design which attach to surface decoration in favor of the values inherent in form, in the harmonious relationship of parts and the perfected unity of the whole. Under such conditions, if the design was well conceived, an effort of rare charm was achieved... The ideal of purity, broadly conceived as it was, furnished sufficient justification for such a theory of workmanship... A natural frankness characterized the finished Shaker product... One's primary impression, on seeing an assemblage of Shaker pieces, is that of brightness and lightness more expressive of serene happiness than somber monasticism". This book is also noted for the stark yet beautiful on-site photographs taken by William F. Winter. Walpole Society member and Magazine Antiques editor Homer Eaton Keyes wrote the Preface.

71. Oliver, Andrew. "Auguste Edouart's Silhouettes of Eminent Americans, 1839-1844" Charlottesville; published for the National Portrait Gallery by the University Press of Virginia: 1977. Of all the practitioners of the almost-lost art of the silhouette, by far the most accomplished and prominent was Auguste Edouart. Edouart worked in Europe, England and America, and made it a practice to keep duplicate silhouettes for himself which he arranged in albums, to be used to produce duplicates for customers or as a promotional tool. In December of 1849 Edouart was returning to England from his final trip through America when his ship ran aground off Guernsey. In the ensuing wreck he was able to save only a few of the 50 or so albums of silhouettes he had cut in America, and these albums were given to his rescuers, descending in the family until they were purchased by Mrs. F. Nevill Jackson in 1910. She used them as the basis for her several books on silhouettes, but in the process she broke up all but one of the albums and distributed the contents. One album was kept intact, and it is reproduced here exactly as Edouart assembled it over 150 years ago. Each silhouette is illustrated with its original pen and wash background, with extensive modern biographical notes on the sitters. This volume, with informative introductory material by Andrew Oliver, provides a vivid glimpse of the complete art of the silhouette as it was accomplished so long ago.
