Coalescence of Styles
by Jane L Cook (9780773520561)

Unique nuances and styles often develop because of interactions between groups of people. By studying furniture produced and decorated by Mi'kmaq, Acadians, French Canadians, Americans, English, Scots, and Irish, Jane Cook shows that their diverse styles merged to create two distinct traditions of furniture making in different parts of the St. John River Valley. She moves beyond a mere catalogue of objects to provide an important comparative analysis of material heritage, showing how furniture embodied the lifestyles of differing groups of settlers.
