Publisher: University of Pennsylvania ... morePress; reprint of 1964. 1998) Although social sciences such as anthropology are often thought to have been organized as academic specialties in the nineteenth century. The ideas upon which these disciplines were founded actually developed centuries earlier. In fact, the foundational concepts can be traced at least as far back as the sixteenth century, when contact with unfamiliar peoples in the New World led Europeans to create ways of describing and understanding social similarities and differences among humans. Early Anthropology in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries examines the history of some of the ideas adopted to help understand the origin of culture. The diversity of traits, the significance of similarities, the sequence of high civilizations, the course of cultural change, and the theory of social evolution. It is a book that not only illuminates the thinking of a by-gone age but also sheds light on the sources of attitudes still prevalent today. CONDITION: New. Never read.

Free Shipping Condition: Brand New Location: Lummi Island, United States American Dawn: a New Model of American Prehistory by Louis A. Brennan. DESCRIPTION: Hardcover: 390 pages. Publisher: The Macmillan Company; 1970) Who ... morewas the first American man and where did he come from? How long ago did he arrive…and how did he live? At last we are able to piece together the“American Dawn” in all its engrossing complexity– a story that completely contradicts the beliefs so widely held by archaeologists as little as ten years ago. Louis A. Brennan has accomplished a complete survey of American prehistory based on radical new evidence obtained in the last decade. And the result is as surprising as it is compelling, witty, and factual. Comparing yesterday’s archaeological theses with today’s model of American prehistory, the author constructs a remarkable picture of the first American man and the first American community. How did he look, act, exist? What tools did he use, what food did he eat, what clothes did he wear? How did he communicate? How, in fact, did American civilization develop? Now for the first time these questions can be answered. Thanks to recent spectacular advances in dating techniques(carbon 14 and other methods explained in the text) we are able to picture America’s earliest settlers in their natural habitat and lifestyle. Brennan traces the first Americans back to the very beginnings of man. In Olduvai Gorge, East Africa, giving cohesive and wide-ranging commentary on the revolutionary discoveries of eminent archaeologists(such as Leakey and Dart in Africa) and the new world-picture that has evolved over the past decade. But the reader, too, is an explorer, learning how much can be revealed from a clam shell in Croton, New York; from an arrowhead in New Mexico; or from a tree in California. He discovers too the question of environmental determinism, the role played by climate and surroundings in the regional development of American man. And he returns to his beginnings, identity, and primitive traditions with a reawakened knowledge of this new world, his home. CONDITI

Free Shipping Condition: Brand New Location: Lummi Island, United States Beyond Death: The Chinchorro Mummies of Ancient Chile by Bernardo T. Arriaza. Foreword by John W. Verano. DESCRIPTION: Hardcover with Dust Jacket: 176 ... morepages. Publisher: Smithsonian Institution Press; 1995) Thousands of years before ancient Egyptians mummified their dead elite. The South American Chinchorros performed elaborate mummification rituals for deceased members of every level and age of their society. The Chinchorros are exceptional for the sheer number of known mummies, nearly two hundred, and the variety and complexity of their mummification techniques. Although first discovered in 1917, the Chinchorro mummies are little known throughout the world and most literature about them is in Spanish. In"Beyond Death" Bernardo Arriaza brings to light these unprecedented remains, offers new interpretations of Chinchorro mortuary practices, and reconstructs this culture's daily life of 8,000 years ago. While this early South American society left no written record describing their customs and concept of death. The mummified remains provide clues to their culture. The Chinchorros lived as fishermen on the Pacific Coast of Northern Chile and Southern Peru for millennia. While they did not have ceramics, woven cloth, or metal tools, the early Chinchorros developed a complex process of skinning, eviscerating, and reconstructing a body so that it has remained preserved for 8,000 years. Arriaza details three distinctive styles of mummification in addition to bandaged mummies: the earliest"black mummies" coated with manganese paste; the"red mummies" coasted with red ocher; and the mud-coasted mummies of the latest period. Arriaza describes the clothing. Simple ornaments, and everyday tools that accompanied the bodies, and he speculates that people who concentrated so much energy in caring for their dead must have had a strong belief in the afterlife. Drawing on evidence from archaeology, biology, and Andean cosmology, Arriaza discusses the Chinchorro notion of death, their supernatural b

Publisher: The American University in Cairo Press; 2000) ISBN: ... more9774246004. This book presents a concise account of the lives and times of some of the more significant occupants of the Egyptian throne. From the unification of the country around 3000 BC down to the extinction of native rule just under three millennia later. Some, such as Tuthmosis III, had a major impact on their time, and were remembered by their own people until the very civilization collapsed. Others, such as Tutankhamun, were soon forgotten by the Egyptians themselves, only to burst into popular culture thousands of years after their deaths, as a result of the labors of modern archeologists. Still more remain unknown outside the small circle of professional archeologists, but led lives that call out for wider dissemination. This book sets out to provide a mix of all three categories, in an attempt to present a balanced view of Egyptian kings and their range of achievements.

ANTIQUE AMERICAN COLONIAL FEDERAL VICTORIAN FURNITURE BOOKS & ARTICLES GUIDE
American Furniture Craftsmen Working Prior to 1920. An Annotated Bibliography” By Charles J. Semowich. Published by the Greenwood Press in 1984. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: An essential reference because it is more or less complete(up to 1984) Although the annotations are brief. Periodical literature is included. The entries are divided into groupings of works about individual craftsmen, works about regional groups of craftsmen, general books, and trade catalogs. Everything is cross-indexed by craftsmen, author-title, and subject. The materials included in this bibliography focus on the craftsmen responsible for the creation of fine furniture. Works that give biographical information about furniture craftsmen and discuss the stylistic and aesthetic development of their art; works that examine the sociological, political, ... moreeconomic and environmental conditions within which furniture craftsmen worked, as well as furniture factories and furniture retail businesses themselves; and general works useful in the study of American furniture are cited. The bibliography consists of four main sections, the first of which deals with the life and work of individual furniture makers and designers.

ANTIQUE AMERICAN FURNITURE & ANTIQUES - FANCY DECORATED STYLES 1790-1840
American Fancy. Exuberance in the Arts 1790-1840” By Sumter Priddy. Published by the Chipstone Foundation. And the Milwaukee Art Museum, in 2004. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: Between 1790 and 1840. Millions of middle-class Americans throughout the nation encountered"Fancy" they rode in a Fancy sleigh, dressed up in Fancy clothes, blew their noses in Fancy handkerchiefs, bought goods at Fancy shops, ate at Fancy tables on Fancy dishes, and slept under Fancy coverlets. Not just fancy but Fancy: an early nineteenth-century cultural phenomenon born out of new and enlightened ways of seeing, understanding, and responding to the surrounding world. Fancy expressed itself in just about everything that pleased the senses; generally colorful and boldly patterned, it elicited delight, awe, surprise, whim, and caprice. ... moreWhether experienced in the form of painted surfaces, kaleidoscopic quilts, or imaginary landscapes, Fancy engaged the emotions and expanded the imagination, expressing the core of human fancy. American Fancy offers an appropriately fantastic experience of this uniquely American sensibility. Author Sumpter Priddy has assembled and produced an original oeuvre in the field of decorative arts, going beyond the traditional modes of furniture analysis, which concentrate on style, history, and construction, to consider the perceptual and emotional responses through which the original users and viewers would have interacted with these material things. To this end he employs the interpretive methods used in the fields of literature, fine arts, philosophy and even psychology. Rich, fully illustrated, wondrously researched, and bound in a cover that imitates a typical Fancy pattern, American Fancy does its marvelous subject true. DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 9.5"x12.5" 267 pages, color and black& white illustrations. CONDITION NOTES: The covers have some light wear and a ding to the upper side on the rear cover. The book interior is clean and nice. With a tight binding. OVERS

BENJAMIN GINSBURG COLLECTION -ANTIQUE AMERICAN FURNITURE & AMERICANA ANTIQUES
An Interesting Auction Catalog- The Contents of Benjamin Ginsburg. Antiquary, including the Property of Cora Ginsburg” The catalog to an auction held in New York by Christies on October 14-15th. 1983. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: Fine American furniture and accessories. Especially English, European and export ceramics, from this noted antiquarian firm. A March 27, 1983, New York Times story reported- For 50 years the sign above the door at 815 Madison Avenue- Ginsburg& Levy- conveyed to all antiques enthusiasts in pursuit of American furniture and European ceramics that treasures lay beyond. In 1976 the sign was changed with the removal of the Levy name from the lintel on the Georgian facade of the five-story establishment, signaling a corporate divorce and the end of a family alliance. It was then that Benjamin ... moreGinsburg and Bernard Levy, sons of John Ginsburg and Isaac M. Levy, cousins who founded the antiques concern in 1901, officially parted company. One of the nation's oldest and most respected antiques concerns had ended. Ben sort of lost heart when the business broke up, recalled Cora Ginsburg, his wife, a dealer in period textiles. She was surrounded by packing cases and a crew of young workers who had come to organize the removal this week of the contents of the shop which is at 68th Street. She explained that Mr. Ginsburg's failing health, which has kept him away from the shop for about two years, made him decide to close the business and auction everything in it. I don't like selling the collection, Mr. Ginsburg conceded in a telephone interview the other day. But I can't take care of it anymore. The 78-year-old dealer reminisced about the family business which he joined in 1921 after studying engineering and deciding against it as a career. We weren't as specialized then, Mr. Ginsburg commented. We always dealt in European things of good quality. Ginsburg& Levy moved up to 68th Street in 1926, transforming its new home into a Georgian showcase, insta

Which included extremely fine 17th and 18th century American furniture as well as some early American silver and glass, and some fine English lustreware and Wheildon pottery. Louis Guerineau Myers was among the pioneering collectors of American decorative arts in the first decades of the 20th century. Fellow collector R.T.H. Halsey wrote an appreciation ... moreof Myers after his death for the 1932 auction catalog of his collection of antique American furniture. Silver, pewter and accessories, in which he notes- He knew infinitely more about the touch of the old time craftsman and the wiles of the present day forgers than those of us who frequently called upon him. His judgment was unerring. There is no one to take his place. His ability and zeal as a collector has long been evidenced in his collections, and his much sought-after advice greatly improved the quality of several of the important collections of American furniture assembled during the past decade.

Abrams in 2000. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: What style is it? How is it put together? Is it real or is it a fake? How can I make it look its best without destroying its value? John T. Kirk answers these and many other questions about when. Where, how, and even why a piece of furniture was made.

Published by the Harvard University Press in 1941. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: The first edition of this well illustrated and important catalog of this major collection of American furniture. Silver and accessories. This beautifully printed volume, set in Monotype Bembo and with full-tone collotype illustrations, established a high visual standard for furniture catalogs that was emulated by Joseph Downs in the 1950s and Morrison Hecksher in the 1980s. The catalog includes 125 examples of high-style furniture, the vast majority from Massachusetts ... moreand Rhode Island, although some superb Philadelphia objects are included. These objects are not included in Richard Randall's 1965 catalog. Karolik's musings, As I Reflect upon the Collection" provide a fascinating look at the mind of an idiosyncratic collector" Ames& Ward. Maxim Karolik(1893-1963) was a Russian opera singer. Immigrant, and art collector and benefactor who cut a swath through the Boston and American collecting scenes. The magnificent bequests of American furniture and paintings he and his wife made to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts earned them a place in the pantheon of Boston's patrons of the arts, and their rediscovery and championing of the works of Fitz Hugh Lane and Martin Johnson Heade, along with 19th century American fine and folk artists earned them a place in American collecting lore. The Karoliks deflected such honors, and in an open letter to the MFA's Director, Maxim Karolik declared"We are not'Patrons of Art' or'Public Benefactors. We refuse to accept these banal labels. We accept with pleasure only one label: Useful' Semowich 1352. DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 9.25"x12" 366 pages

MUSEUM OF EARLY SOUTHERN DECORATIVE ARTS ANTIQUE AMERICAN FURNITURE & AMERICANA
Southern Perspective. A Sampling from the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts” Edited by Gary J. Albert. Published by MESDA in 2005. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: A wonderful survey of 40 objects- furniture. Ceramics, silver, paintings, from the MESDA collection. Out of print as hardcover. MESDA's website notes- MESDA is the realization of a vision shared by two extraordinary individuals: Frank L. Horton and his mother Theodosia"Theo" L. Taliaferro. Who were pioneering antiques dealers and collectors who dedicated most of their lives to raising awareness of and appreciation for domestic objects made in the South. During the first half of the twentieth century, southern antiques were mostly dismissed by scholars and ignored by collectors. A movement to challenge the existing attitudes began in 1949 ... morewith the first Williamsburg Antiques Forum at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, which included a seminal session that called attention to the lack of information about southern craftsmanship. The intense study of specifically southern antiques began with the 1952 Williamsburg Antiques Forum, which coincided with the first definitive exhibition of southern furniture, Furniture of the Old South, 1640- 1820 at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, and culminated with the opening of MESDA in 1965. The results of the museum's efforts to fulfill its mission have extended well beyond the exhibition of the collection to include groundbreaking field research programs, award-winning publications, a respected research center and decorative arts library, and exceptional educational programs such as the Graduate Summer Institute cosponsored by MESDA and the University of Virginia.

ANTIQUE AMERICAN COLONIAL FURNITURE -CLASSIC ISRAEL SACK 1932 COLLECTION
An Interesting Auction Catalog- One Hundred Important American Antiques” The catalog to an auction held by Anderson Galleries in New York on January 9th. 1932. Sale 3940. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: Colonial and Early Federal Furniture. Silver and Porcelains of Distinguished Provenance by and attributed to Chapin, Cowell, Dummer, Frothingham, Goddard, Gostelow, Hurd, Le Roux, McIntire, Phyfe, Randolph, Revere, Savery, Seymour, Soumaine, Titcomb, The Townsends, Whittemore, Wilder, The Willards, acquired from notable collections by Israel Sack" A 1998 New York Times article noted- The history of Israel Sack Inc. is a rags-to-riches tale. Israel Sack. An immigrant cabinetmaker from Lithuania, opened an antiques store on Charles Street in Boston in 1905. He was attracted to America's early urban furniture, the ... morefancy mahogany and walnut chests, highboys and chairs made in Boston, Newport, R.I. Salem, Mass. New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. He practically invented the field that is known today as Americana. When he started, American furniture was not a collectible form, his son Albert recalled. There were no shows, or any American furniture collections in museums. In the 1920's, Israel Sack moved to New York and started to amass first-rate furniture, and collectors who could afford it. Israel Sack was a brilliant marketer. He sponsored research[and] lectured widely. In the early part of this century, when American society was enamored of English antiques, he persuaded people to pay a premium for pieces made in America. You can tell American furniture by its accent, he liked to say. He argued that American furniture has its own qualities; instead of ornamentation and gilding, it has form, line, proportion, craftsmanship and rarity. He declared it an art form. From the 1920's until his death in 1959, Israel Sack sold to the top collectors of Americana: Henry Ford, Henry Francis duPont, Mabel and Francis Garvan, and Charles K. Davis, president of the Remington Arms Company

WILLIAM STARBUCK MACY -1906 CATALOG OF ANTIQUE AMERICAN & ENGLISH FURNITURE
An Interesting Auction Catalog- The W. Starbuck Macy Collection. Rare Examples of old English and American Furniture. Pewters, Potteries, Glass, Historical China, etc. including choice and original specimens by Chippendale, Sheraton and Hepplewhite” The catalog to an auction held in New York by James P. Silo on November 15-24. 1906. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: The sale of an early collection. Most of the illustrated items are furniture. With some historical Staffordshire thrown in. Mr. W.Starbuck Macy. As set forth in the following catalogue, may be summed up in a very few words. Every article contained therein is positively genuine and guaranteed, a rather unusual state of affairs when one comes to deal with the great names of Thomas Chippendale, Hepplewhite and Sheraton. The public in general are so apt to attribute ... moreevery piece with a ball-and-claw foot to Chippendale, especially in chairs, and every piece having a bit of inlay to Sheraton, and to confuse the work of Hepplewhite with that of Chippendale, that when one comes to examine the collection made by Mr. Macy it is something of a shock to find that Chippendale has shown in his book of designs only one small hall chair with even a suggestion of a ball-and-claw foot, and that this design is not by any means characteristic of his work, but was also used by other makers of his day. Necessarily all of Sheratons pieces were not inlaid, any more than were the works of Hepplewhite and Thomas Chippendale himself. The matter of inlay was simply a matter of fashion, and we find all of the great furniture makers at the time using it. Mr. Macy has shown wonderful knowledge in assembling so vast a collection of the various domestic works of art of a bygone age, and it is doubtful whether there is a man with his catholic knowledge and ability among the present day connoisseurs in this line. The manufacture of the modern antique(to use an anachronism) has been so widespread that it has only whetted the appetite of the real collector f

ANTIQUE PAINTED FEDERAL and COUNTRY FURNITURE BY AMERICAN WOMEN CABINETMAKERS
Women's Painted Furniture 1790-1830. American Schoolgirl Art” By Betsy Krieg Salm. Published by the University Press of New England in 2010. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: Beautifully illustrated. Comprehensive study of women's painted furniture, a long-lost art that sheds light on women's lives in the early republic. In this long-awaited tribute to women's painted furniture, author and artist Betsy Krieg Salm rediscovers a style of early American decorative art still largely unknown to curators, antique dealers, art historians, and the public. She documents the socioeconomic, cultural, and aesthetic history of the form, which includes such items as sewing and work boxes, face screens, and tables. Salm carefully chronicles the process itself, describing a selection of cabinetmakers, woods, varnishes, ... moreand paints, along with the specific tools and techniques used by women artists. Salm analyzes the styles, designs, and patterns of more than two hundred pieces. Treating these objects as documents of women's daily lives, she shows the close relationship between painted furniture motifs and those of needlework and other decorative arts of the period. Thanks to her scholarship, this art form may now receive the recognition it deserves in the broader genre of American women's art. Women's Painted Furniture presents a comprehensive collection of images, most of which are not available elsewhere. Primary sources include recipes, patterns, genealogies of artisans, chemical analyses of antiques, instructions in methods and technique, and the original, mainly English, sources of artistic inspiration for painters and needle workers.

Pewter, metalware, and so on, sold by order of the New Hampshire Historical Society, to which they had been donated. Katherine Prentis Murphy was an important mid-generation collector. In"The Antiquers" Elizabeth Stillinger explains- Katherine Prentis Murphy(1884-1967) has been remembered in the world of American antiques not for innovation, but for style. It is impossible not to recognize a Murphy room. The elements are bold alternating black and white diamond checked ... morefloors; curtains, fabrics, and bed hangings in dramatic flame-stitch patterns, and furniture with high arching curves, deep carving, and crisply turned legs and stretchers. The theme set by these striking patterns and shapes is then embellished with copious sets of pewter measures, plates and mugs; numerous shining brass candlesticks, and ornamental hanging embroideries and prints. The whole effect is charming- and utterly unrelated to historical reality. Mrs. Murphy personally supervised and supplied furnishings for period rooms all over the East and as far afield as Texas, where her good friend Miss Ima Hogg donated her own house to the Houston Museum" DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 8.5"x9.5" About 100 pages, 342 lots, many black& white illustrations, prices realized list.

HISTORIC DEERFIELD COLLECTION - ANTIQUE AMERICAN COLONIAL & FEDERAL FURNITURE
The Furniture of Historic Deerfield” By Dean A. Fales. Published in New York by E.P. Dutton in 1976. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: The beautiful and scholarly catalog of this very important collection of 17th and 18th century New England furniture. The Flynts themselves purchased most of the items in the collection. So it not only shows a fine cross-section of the best New England furniture, but is also an example of the taste and collecting eye of a single pair of astute and unique collectors. The Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association website notes- Henry Needham Flynt(1893-1970) with his wife Helen, founded Historic Deerfield in Deerfield, Massachusetts. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of George Converse Flynt and Helen Pratt Needham. In 1920 he married Helen Margaret Geier(1895-1986) of Cincinnati, Ohio. ... moreThe Flynts lived in Brooklyn Heights for several years and then decided to move out of the city. They built a home in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 1929. They had three children, including one son, Henry Jr. who went to Deerfield Academy in 1936. By 1941 Henry Sr. was on the academy's board of directors. Their connection with headmaster Frank Boyden and with the town of Deerfield itself led the Flynts to purchase their first property in the town in 1942. Soon they purchased four more properties, viewing their mission for the town as one of preservation and restoration, a mission that had expanded to include the entire village center of Deerfield. To furnish their houses they began purchasing antiques that often had some historical association with the property. In 1952, to assist their efforts, the Flynts formed the Heritage Foundation, which was renamed Historic Deerfield in 1971. Henry Flynt closely followed the foundation's activities. His involvement in Deerfield history led to his membership in the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association, Deerfield's first historical association, serving as its president from 1949 until his death in 1970.
