New Mexican Tinwork, 1840 - 1940

Rating:
Summary: A compilation of history and color photos
Review: Ornamental tinwork from the mid-1800s began in Santa Fe, New Mexico with a sardine can and worked its way into other applications: so begin Lane Coulter and Maurice Dixon Jr. in their history of the tools, techniques and products of New Mexican tinwork. Relatively little has been documented in this area, making New Mexican Tinwork 1840-1940 a compilation of history and color photos of particular interest to anyone working in this particular medium.
