This vintage instructional guide by Priscilla Hauser offers a comprehensive exploration of the art of tole painting, a decorative folk art technique that experienced a resurgence in popularity during the 1970s. Tole painting, which involves applying vibrant colors and designs onto tinware and wooden surfaces, has its roots in 18th-century New England, where it was practiced by itinerant craftsmen. Hauser’s meticulously illustrated volume provides a wealth of patterns and step-by-step instructions, making it an invaluable resource for both novice and experienced tole artists alike. Despite its well-loved condition, this copy retains the charm and utility that made it a treasured addition to many a crafter’s library during the tole painting renaissance of the 1970s. Collectors of vintage arts and crafts manuals, as well as enthusiasts of American folk art traditions, will appreciate the historical and cultural significance of this delightful tome.
