Figure 26 Desk-and-bookcase
attributed to Bankson and Lawson, Baltimore, Maryland, 1785–1792. Mahogany
and mahogany veneer with tulip poplar and yellow pine. H. 89", W. 42
1/2", D. 20 1/2". (Private collection; photo, Joel Breger.) The
mullion arrangement on the bookcase appears related to that of a “Secretary
and Bookcase” illustrated on plate 43 of George Hepplewhite’s
Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer’s Guide (1788).
