“Jeremiah Dummer, Colonial Craftsman & Merchant, 1645-1718”
By Hermann F. Clarke & Henry W. Foote.
Published in Boston by Houghton Mifflin in 1935.
Limited to 225 copies.
DISCUSSION:
The second volume in what was eventually a series of four volumes on 17th century American silversmiths. Dummer was one of the earliest New-England born silversmiths, and apprenticed with John Hull. Clarke was able to locate and describe 108 pieces of Dummer's work, and also discusses Dummer's engraving of a plate for Connecticut currency in 1709. Henry Foote contributed the chapters concerning Dummer's possible work as a portrait painter. The list of 153 subscribers to the book also makes interesting reading, giving a quick look at who was interested in the subject of Colonial silver in 1935. The usual museums, libraries and leading collectors are all there, as well as Edsel Ford, and Boston silversmiths George Gebelein and Arthur Stone.
DESCRIPTION:
