George H. Alexander

George H. Alexander was an artist active for a concentrated period between 1940 and 1942, contributing significantly to the documentation of American material culture. His documented works form part of the Index of American Designs, a comprehensive federal project dedicated to recording the history of decorative and folk arts in the United States.

Alexander's output consists of precise, detailed records focusing on diverse utilitarian objects, emphasizing meticulous observation and historical accuracy. Six of his documented designs are represented in museum collections, confirming the value of his high-quality reference work. These records often preserve details of unique, handmade historical objects that might otherwise be lost.

George H. Alexander’s work is held in the National Gallery of Art, establishing his contribution within the broader scope of American art documentation. Specific documented objects preserved include studies of a Jelly Mold, a Lantern, a Pitcher, a Sewing Box, and a Corner Cupboard. These detailed historical renderings are often sought after as George H. Alexander prints and are accessible through public domain archives for scholarly research.
