Can someone recommend a good source, besides the Moser book, for some fairly detailed pictures of the Seymour Federal Card Table? I am particularly intersted in the upper leg and apron details. 

In searching online, there were some pictures available but they are fairly low resolution, and the details are not discernable.

Thanks for any help.

Jim, if you know of a piece in a particular museum you might be able to get a photo from their photo services.  Many museums have a photo service.  Usually the cost is in the neighborhood of $10 with some restrictions on use/distribution.

The Mussey book on the Seymours might be a source.  Their photos are very good.  See link for description of book:

If this discussion was useful, there are twenty years of them here. Join SAPFM to take part — the forum, the journal, the magazine and the members’ gallery come with membership.
