A Pictorial Study of the History and Regional Characteristics of the Most Popular Furniture Form of Eighteenth-Century America. From dust jacket notes: "...Turning an artist's eye on Windsor chairs, settees, tables, stools, cradles and more, renowned illustrator and collector Charles Santore has written a book that will be a revelation to virtually all admirers of American antiques. Using hundreds of photographs, some in color and most of them commissioned especially for this book, Mr. Santore shows precisely how each type of American Windsor evolved, how each fits the styles of its time, what makes one Windsor better than another, and how the reader can use this information to date, evaluate, and determine the origin of Windsor furniture in his or her possession. To make the photographs as clear as possible, the book has been printed on the finest quality of paper. Some of the unique features of this book also include: detailed photographs of the earliest American Windsor, unavailable in any other book; information on paint surfaces, authentication, fakery and reproduction; a section of questions most frequently asked about Windsors, answered by the author; a checklist of Windsor makers, and a portfolio of exquisite detailed drawings by Mr. Santore...."
