- This complete handbook of the Philadelphia Museum of Art's permanent collection of Pennsylvania German objects is the first resource of its kind, revealing the full range, depth and quality of a folk art collection 90 years in the making. Photographs of 1,115 Pennsylvania German ceramics and glass, furniture and household objects, fraktur and books, tools and implements, textiles and basketry, are accompanied by individual descriptions and, when known, artist, date and place of manufacture.
