 | INDEX OF AMERICAN DESIGN |
The Index of American Design consists of approximately 18,000 watercolor renderings of American decorative arts objects from the colonial period through the nineteenth century.

The following tours of the Index of American Design are available as slide programs from the Department of Education Resources: Free Loan Programs. (continue)
