In the 1890s, as the American West was being settled, a nationwide fascination with souvenir spoons emerged. These spoons captured the scenic beauty, industrial achievements, and vibrant imagery of the West, showcasing fierce natives, daring cowboys, and fortune-seeking prospectors in intricate silver designs. Influential figures like Fred Harvey, Navajo silversmiths, and Charles Tiffany & Co. significantly shaped this phenomenon. Though the craze faded by World War II, it left behind thousands of detailed and artistic designs that are now cherished by collectors. This engaging book delves into the history of this trend, uniting commercially crafted and native designs for the first time. Featuring vibrant, full-color photographs, it celebrates unique and rare examples from some of the finest collections.
