Wallace Nutting Signed Hand-Colored Photograph - Late 18th Century

Experience a piece of early American history with this hand-colored photograph by Wallace Nutting, a prominent antiquarian, furniture maker, and one of the leading figures in the Colonial Revival movement. This signed photograph, measuring 9.75 x 8 inches, beautifully captures a woman engaged in cross-stitching, seated before a beehive stove and fireplace—a scene that epitomizes the tranquil domestic life of the late 18th century.

Wallace Nutting was renowned for his attention to detail and his passion for America’s colonial past, which he conveyed through his art. His photographs were not merely images; they were an attempt to preserve and promote the American colonial style at a time when the nation was looking back to its roots with nostalgia. This piece, with its exquisite hand-coloring and pastoral subject matter, reflects Nutting’s idealized view of the past and his mastery in creating atmospheres that evoke a sense of warmth and timeless charm.

Ideal for collectors of historic American art and photography, this photograph is more than a decorative piece—it’s a portal to the past, offering a glimpse into the life and work of one of the early 20th century’s most influential artists and cultural preservers.
