CABINETMAKERS OF THE EASTERN SEABOARD – A Study of Early Canadian Furniture
by Charles Foss, M.F. Feheley Publishers Ltd., Canada, 1977.
This scholarly text pictures and describes furniture made by twelve of Canada’s most eminent craftsmen over the last two hundred years.  The author “has compiled biographical information on the craftsmen, their families and business relationships wherever facts are known, and the furniture illustrated was carefully chosen to be representative of the thousands of fine pieces existing today in collections and in the homes of descendents.  Accompanying each piece, a caption describes in-depth the style, special features, materials, and often the history of a particular item, making this book a valuable reference for collectors.”  Cabinetmakers include:  Robert Chillas, Thomas Nesbit, Alexander Lawrence, James Hawes, John Warren Moore, Thomas Jefferson Caswell, Charles Thompson, John D. and Jonas Howe, Albert James Lordly, Alexander Henderson, The Vroom Brothers, and Alban S. Emery.
