Annual of American Design, 1931
About
Annual of American Design (1931) was a landmark publication produced under the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). It aimed to document and celebrate the craftsmanship and material culture of the United States, featuring meticulously rendered illustrations and descriptions of furniture, textiles, ceramics, glass, and other decorative arts from the colonial period to the early twentieth century. Compiled by artists and designers across the country, the Annual served both as an educational resource and a preservation effort, capturing the regional diversity and evolving aesthetic identity of American design during a transformative era in the nation’s cultural history.
