Profusely illustrated with hundreds of black-and-white photographs of silver objects of art including hallmarks, this rare out-of-print book pictures and describes examples of American silver made in Maryland.
EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURY MARYLAND SILVER: In the Collection of the Baltimore Museum of Art by Jennifer Faulds Goldsborough, The Baltimore Museum of Art, 1975.
Here we have 'a celebration of Maryland’s and Baltimore’s unique heritage in the history of American silversmithing.' A catalog of the Baltimore Museum of Art’s silver collection, the book features especially the 200-piece collection from Mrs. Miles White Jr. which forms the core of the Museum’s holdings in antique silver. While drawing on the definitive work of J. Hall Pleasants and Howard Sill in 'Maryland Silversmiths: 1715-1830' the author has also added much new information. Focusing on detailed technical data and supported by several perceptive essays, this book achieves true authoritative status.
