AMERICAN FOLK ART by William C. Ketchum, Jr., Todtri Productions Ltd., NY, 1995. 'Folk art – the art of the common man – is as much a part of the American way of life as baseball and apple pie. Since the time of the earliest settlers, Americans – professionals and amateurs alike – have been expressing their individuality through the creation and embellishment of everyday objects. From furniture and kitchen utensils to weathervanes and shop signs, folk art has come to be synonymous with the art of inclusion. In this beautifully illustrated volume, noted author and curator, William Ketchum explores our glorious folk-art heritage in all its simple splendor. An integral part of our American culture and history, folk art is a fascinating and wide-ranging topic. This book, with its stunning illustrations and engrossing commentary, will prove an invaluable addition to the library of any collector or enthusiast.'

By Robert Morton, Oxmoor House, Inc., Birmingham AL, 1976. This early out-of-print book presents the '’tout ensemble’ from rich folk to poor folk, from the kitchen to the drawing room. Through these objects you have presented a unique way of viewing history,' says one reviewer. 'Included in these pages are beautiful and important pieces of furniture; remarkable items of silver and ceramics and gold; unique objects of everyday use and southern crafts and folk art of great diversity. It is also a history book of the South…. Fully one-third of this book is devoted to furniture: chairs—upholstered, straight-back and Windsor—beds, armoires, huntboards, sideboards, cupboards, desks, clocks, secretaries, sugarchests. All of them are beautifully photographed and carefully identified so you can compare them with others you’ve seen or own. Grouped with furniture are the other household articles that added grace and style to life… silver, gold, pottery and glass…. Part Two gives the true feelings of everyday life. Kitchen stoves, fireplace andirons, sundials—even rolling pins and door locks—transport us back to what may or may not have been better days but certainly were simpler ones.' In addition, attention is given to textiles—quilts, coverlets, samplers—to weaponry and hunting paraphernalia—decoys, rifles—Civil War items—regimental flags, Bowie knives, money, uniform gear. There is a section on homemade items—musical instruments, toys and dolls, painting and sculpture. Here is a comprehensive and profusely illustrated treatment of a subject bound in a beautiful book to grace the coffee table or the reference shelf alike.
