Hale, Richard Walden. "CATALOGUE OF SILVER OWNED BY NICHOLAS SEVER, A.B.
1701 in 1728. Now owned by his descendants and exhibited at the Fogg Art
Museum of Harvard University, 1931"

Boston; Tudor Press: 1931.

One of those examples of passing stuff down in the family -most of the
silver that Nicholas Sever owned in 1731, noted in an extant ledger page
(illustrated), was still owned by the family in 1931. This catalog, a
"Christmas Greeting", was beautifully presented, with hand-calligraphed
text by Janet Cuyler-Newlin, and illustrations which are starkly presented
-very elegant all around. The silver? There are 11 items, most by John
Burt.

Softcover. 6"x9", 36 pages, 14 b/w illustrations; some soil, several minor
nicks in the cover. [09766] $100.00
