Description: The Pennsylvania Germans : A Celebration of Their Arts, 1683-1850 By Charles F. Hummel and Beatrice B. Garvan Published: Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1982. 196 pp. Softcover in original binding. Not Ex-Lib.The seminal idea for this exhibition grew out of a desire to reestablish for a national audience the vitality inherent in the original arts of the Pennsylvania Germans and to explore in-depth the particular contributions that they made to American arts and crafts. The material amassed for this exhibition produced two complementary units, reflected in the title 'The Pennsylvania German," and the subtitle "A Celebration of Their Arts, 1683-1850."The exhibition first provides an overview of the group, the diverse national origins of the settlers, the stability and the productivity of their regional settlements, and their importance in the establishment of the wealth and the international prestige of the colony of Pennsylvania before 1776.Over 300 objects were selected out of some 3,000 examined, which were made and owned by Pennsylvania Germans. In their decoration, inscriptions, and worksmanship, these works reveal the traditions, beliefs, and achievements that this important early settlement group has contributed to American life.I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
