Dispersed and hidden away for nearly 200 years, the art and culture of early America. It attests to the wide-ranging spirit of inquiry that characterized the late 18th and early 19th centuries. With an insightful look at conservation efforts and detailed examination of specific objects, this publication explores the social and political stakes that underpinned one of the most remarkable assemblages of artifacts, images, and objects in the Atlantic World, and introduces readers to many long-forgotten icons of American culture.Distributed for the Harvard Art MuseumsExhibition Schedule:Harvard Art Museums(05\/19\/17-12\/31\/17)The Hunterian, University of Glasgow(03\/23\/18-06\/24\/18)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895032840480,"sku":"NEW030022592X","price":55.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Z3TF-f2FL.jpg?v=1782029732","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-philosophy-chamber-art-and-science-in-harvards-teaching-cabinet-1766-1820-030022592x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
