Description

"The more than five hundred objects featured in this catalogue - including furniture, silver and other metalwork, glass, ceramics, textiles, Native American artifacts, paintings, works on paper, and manuscripts - bear ample witness to the styles and aesthetics of early Pennsylvania and illustrate the rapid advances that took place in the colony during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, not only in the arts but also in commerce, technology, scientific inquiry, and philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
