Description: This early out-of-print book is an in-depth pictorial guide to the history and development of American Shaker antiques and collectibles. SHAKER FOLK ART & INDUSTRIES by May Klamkin, Dodd Mead & Co., NY, 1972. Illustrated with over 270black-and-white photographs, this book reviews the various industries the Shakers were involved in. Among their occupations are tinsmithing, woodworking, weaving, spinning, sewing, basketry, clockmaking, and more. "The work to which they put their hands was vital to their surviving and became an important part of their daily lives and religion. In their effort to live completely separated from the 'world's people,' it was necessary that they produce all goods for their own use as well as earn money for the purchase of more land as they grew in number. In doing so, they made some of the most beautiful and functional objects for household use that have ever been created." 8.5" x 9.5” softback in good condition. 212 pages.
