Re: thoughts
Charles, you make great points. I am trying to offer my thoughts primarily based upon my experiences as an engraver, and one who seldom gets to do the higher end work that i would like too, BTW!
My historical knowledge is scanty, and is somewhat concentrated around the Moravians, as i worked at Old Salem for a time some years ago.
The Puritan values, egalitarian impulses, and economic,war factors seem to be spot on, to me. I can't go any deeper than affirm that your suggestions seem valid.
Thanks for putting the effort into this very interesting thread!
take care,
Tom
