Reviews
The exhibition features more than 50 pieces of silver, and the catalog highlights 38 of them with full descriptions, including maker, dates, marks, provenance, inscriptions, size, publications, exhibitions, and a history of the piece. They are organized by place--Boston, New York, or Philadelphia--and the photographs are large enough to show details. The 1768 Van Wyck waiter by Myer Myers is given a foldout page to display it at full size. There are plenty of notes and references, an index, and a well-written introduction to the collection that discusses makers, forms, styles, and marks.
