Doren, Ph.D. Interim Vice Provost for Graduate and Professional Education and Dean of the Graduate College ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I first heard my advisor, Jennifer Van Horn, speak about her research when I was a junior at Towson University. While I was already a lover of all things early America, her visit to Towson formally introduced me to the study of material culture and to Winterthur’s graduate program. It was my dream to work with Dr. Van Horn, and I feel lucky to have learned from her both in the classroom and while writing this thesis. Her thoughtful comments and editing helped bring my ideas to life, and her support, personally and academically, made this work possible. Catharine Dann Roeber and Thomas Guiler have been my greatest supporters since the start of my journey at Winterthur.

  • William and Washington Tuck and Annapolis Cabinetmaking, 1795-1838
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: ‘HAVE HONESTLY AND FAIRLY LABOURED FOR MONEY’: WILLIAM AND WASHINGTON TUCK AND ANNAPOLIS CABINETMAKING, 1795-1838. Alexander J. Lourie, Master of Arts, 2004 Thesis directed by: Professor Nancy L. Struna Department of American Studies The careers of William and Washington Tuck coincided with a significant transition of Annapolis furniture-making, and changes in the political and economic hierarchies in the post-revolutionary market economy of Maryland. Both brothers learned their trade under the tutelage of John Shaw at a time when the center of Maryland’s cabinetmaking shifted to Baltimore. Politically, republican ideas of democracy and representation began to take hold, and slowly found a place in Annapolis, a town characterized by its adherence to an older system of patronage and backroom negotiations. The Tucks’ entrepreneurial talents and social, political, and artisanal connections facilitated their access to the State House, Annapolis’ most important source of commerce and employment. This study adds two new players to the scholarly understanding of Annapolis cabinetmaking, a story heretofore dominated by John Shaw, and shows how two artisans in Maryland’s capital pursued their trade and maintained their competency in early national Annapolis. ‘HAVE HONESTLY AND FAIRLY LABOURED FOR MONEY’: WILLIAM AND WASHINGTON TUCK AND ANNAPOLIS CABINETMAKING, 1795-1838 by Alexander J.
