One chairmaker working in Salem, New Jersey, during the first half of the nineteenth century who has inexplicably been overlooked is William G. Beesley (1797–1842). His daybook (1828–1842) provides detailed account information about chair types and costs that have never been examined on their own. Analysis of Beesley's daybook uncovers a rare survival of the records of a craftsman who not only made and decorated Windsor chairs but also prepared and sold paint and paint supplies.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a One chairmaker working in Salem, New Jersey, during the first half of the nineteenth century who has inexplicably been overlooked is William G. Beesley (1797–1842). His daybook (1828–1842) provides detailed account information about chair types and costs that have never been examined on their own. Analysis of Beesley's daybook uncovers a rare survival of the records of a craftsman who not only made and decorated Windsor chairs but also prepared and sold paint and paint supplies.
520 $a The study of Beesley's daybook reveals important information about the types of chairs manufactured and sold in Salem, New Jersey, about the production and sale of decorative and house paint, and about the artisan network present there in the 1820s and 1830s. Beesley's account records also signify a craftsman's desire to attain a higher social standing by becoming so successful at his trade that he could abandon it to pursue other interests.
