Шаблон:Short description Esther Stevens Brazer (April 7, 1898 – October 30, 1945) was an American historian, noted especially for her interest in painted tinware.
Brazer was the great-great-granddaughter of a tinsmith from Maine, Zachariah Brackett Stevens.[1] Alongside Janet Waring, she was a pioneer in the study of American decorative art, especially the field of wall stenciling;[2] she is also remembered for her research into the field of japanning.[3] Her book Early American Decoration was the first scholarly work on the subject.[4] She was active as a researcher for most of the last twenty years of her life,[5] and was a collector and teacher in addition to being a writer.[6] Brazer was among those experts invited to contribute to The Magazine ANTIQUES under the editorship of Alice Winchester.[1] She is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Portland, Maine. After her death the Historical Society of Early American Decoration was founded in her honor by a group of her students to propagate her work.[4]
A small box decorated by Brazer in the style of a book, similar to works made by Zachariah Stevens, is held in the collection of the National Museum of American History.[6]
