Review
[A] clear-sighted survey of an area of art which is in danger of slipping into neglected obscurity. . . . This is another beautifully produced volume from Princeton. The illustrations are both handsome and informative in their own right. . . . I think this is an important book in that it brings to light a subject which can be seen as a genuine folk art within an industrialized society and which was in danger of disappearing completely.
(Ian Charnock The Art Book )
Review
Beautifully written, meticulously researched, and well-presented, The Shipcarvers' Art represents a major contribution to our understanding of nineteenth-century American visual culture. There is simply no other book out there that covers this material. It succeeds marvelously at understanding the material on its own terms, and presenting it in the context of American social history. That is a superlative achievement. All scholars of American art history and folk art, as well as collectors, will want this book.
