American Folk Art - part 11

Continuing a major series on American Folk Art featuring 21 postings. Folk Art encompasses art produced by artists and ordinary folk with little or no training in the arts, and is traditionally utilitarian and decorative rather than purely aesthetic. The period I’m covering is the C18th and C19th.
See parts 1-10 also for earlier works.

This is part 11 of a 21-part post on American Folk Art:

Ammi Phillips (1788-1865)
For other works by Ammi Phillips and for biographical notes, see parts 9 and 10 of the series.
