Rollington Campbell

Rollington Campbell was an American artist active for a brief but focused period between 1935 and 1936. His documented body of work consists largely of precise, technical renderings dedicated to the preservation of historical artifact data, specifically represented by 15 items related to the Index of American Designs.

Campbell’s works in museum collections function as important documentation of early American craftsmanship and domestic utility.
