Among the hundreds of thousands of Norwegians who immigrated to the United States during the 19th century, many brought with them objects from a rich rural tradition: These wooden objects include trunks, drinking vessels, bowls, baskets, cupboards, bentwood or other boxes, and they are often exquisitiely painted in a traditional Norwegian style, Rosemaling or Rose Painting. This book is a survey of the most typical and interesting objects, with emphasis on decorative styles. It book also offers information about immigrants and their families.
