  Reaching an apogee of 6,000 members in the years just before the American Civil War, the Shaker movement was the most enduring, and successful utopian society established in America. This book presents an array of fine examples of Shaker furniture, household objects, textiles, religious drawings, and items made to sell to the 'world's people'.
