EARLY WEATHER VANES
commercial bookmarks | etched brass | 110 to 126 mm
produced by The Housatonic Valley Workshop | Connecticut
'The
design of these bookmarks are faithful replicas of early American weather
vanes which were produced as a popular
folk art. With the advent of weather forecasting over commercial radio in the early part of the last
century, a person was
no longer his own weatherman and the wonderful folk art came to an end.'
