[Rarebooks] FS: 1935 Ltd. Ed. American Colonial Silver of Jeremiah Dummer

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

“Jeremiah Dummer, Colonial Craftsman & Merchant, 1645-1718” by Hermann 
F. Clarke & Henry W. Foote. Published in Boston by Houghton Mifflin in 
1935. Limited to 225 copies.

The second volume in what was eventually a series of four volumes on 
17th century American silversmiths. Dummer was one of the earliest 
New-England born silversmiths, and apprenticed with John Hull. Clarke 
was able to locate and describe 108 pieces of Dummer's work, and also 
discusses Dummer's engraving of a plate for Connecticut currency in 
1709. Henry Foote contributed the chapters concerning Dummer's possible 
work as a portrait painter. The list of 153 subscribers to the book also 
makes interesting reading, giving a quick look at who was interested in 
the subject of Colonial silver in 1935. The usual museums, libraries and 
leading collectors are all there, as well as Edsel Ford, and Boston 
silversmiths George Gebelein and Arthur Stone.

Hardcover. 8"x10", 209 pages, plus 24 black & white plates. Slipcased. 
Minor wear, but otherwise clean and nice, with a tight binding. $250
