Mercer Museum - Doylestown, PA


Word blocks carved to print on wallpaper and fabric


 


I visited Mercer's home but also his museum that was completed in 1916 to house his vast collection of early American everyday objects. (nearly 40,000 - that's a collection!) There are more than 60 early American crafts represented. The place is amazing. Here are two crafts that were especially interesting to me!


Etchings, Engravings
