Press Release. ' The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsters Guide '. by: George Hepplewhite.
The following Text compiled by: Joseph Aronson,Halcott Centre, New York, January 1960.Opening paragraph from the Dover third Edition,1774. The opening paragraph.
The sole documented fact presently known about George Hepplewhite is that he died. This event in 1786 preceded by two years the just appearance of his monument; the publication entitled The Cabinet- Maker and Upholsterer's Guide . . . from drawings, over the name of A. Hepplewhite and Co. Cabinet-Makers, and published by 1. and J.
Taylor, at the Architectural Library, No. 56, Holborn, opposite Great Turn-stile'' in London. The 1788 debut was followed the next year by a slightly revised edition, and in 1794 by the "improved'' third edition which is reproduced here.
A. Hepplewhite, the widow Alice, was granted administration of the estate of George Hepplewhite on June 27, 1786. Described as "less than £600,'' this estate could hardly have been the residue of a wildly successful business, compared with the substantial contemporary enterprises of which records survive. Of his business, and of George Hepplewhite's personal life, there remains no attributable vestige: no stick of wood, no shred of paper, no bills or letters. The name appears in print only on six plates in a contemporary publication, The Cabinet-makers' London Book of Prices, editions of 1788 and later. Twenty plates by Thomas Shearer and three by W. Casement which complete this work bear a strong family resemblance, as do all the plates of Shearer's Designs for Household Furniture (1788) and, to an extent, even some of Thomas Sheraton's examples in his 1791 Drawing Book. The inevitable question is, How did the name of George Hepplewhite come to identify a complete school of furniture design, the style of the whole generation after Chippendale's Director? The broad answer is, of course, that there remains a book illustrating work of the period and bearing Hepplewhite's name. Incorrectly.
Hard back Director Before as a soft back
In what’s regarded today? as: The Greatest Furniture Period, 1740-1770.
