About the Item

Girl Scouts Loan Exhibition of Colonial and Early Federal Furniture, Portraits and Glass 1929, by American Art Galleries. Published by American Art Galleries, New York, 1929. 1st Ed hardcover. Re-bound in green cloth to preserve the original paper covers. Examples of; Lustre Ware, Lowestoft and Toile de Jouy used in America during these Periods, Portraits by Stuart Peale and Others For the Benefit of The National Council of Girl Scouts Inc. This was the most important and richest loan exhibition of American antique furniture and other decorative arts ever staged and drawn in large part from private collections. Although it did not start the popularization of American antiques, it gave both scholars and collectors new focus, bringing a large number of prominent dealers and collectors together in a way which had not been accomplished since the Hudson-Fulton exhibition of 1909. It provided the first broad popular showing of American Federal-period antiques, and it inspired an enthusiasm which gave impetus to many new books, catalogs and research. The Girl Scout Exhibition is seen by many as the starting point for all serious modern scholarship in the fields of American decorative arts. The catalog features illustrations of fine furniture, textiles, glass, ceramics and paintings, drawn from notable collections from across the country. "Florence M. Wood (1908 -2004), trained at the Leeds College of Art in the late 1920s and whilst a student there exhibited her work for the first time at the Yorkshire Artist’s Exhibition in Leeds and at the Spring Exhibition, Cartwright Hall, Bradford." NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
