Eric Sloane - A Museum of Early American Tools

Beschrijving boek

Pen-and-ink sketches by the dozen and an illuminating text make A Museum of Early American Tools a deligth for all those who enjoy Americana. Available for the first time, it covers early tools and the wooden and metal artifacts that our forefathers made with them. Fresh, informal, direct, and expressive, it covers building tools and methods, farm and kitchen implements, and the tools of curriers, farriers, wheelwrights, coopers, blacksmiths, coachmakers, sawyers, loggers, tanners, and many of the other proud and individualistic craftsmen of the pre-industrial age.
