The Ultimate Book of Victoriana
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
For those who love Cynthia Hart's lavish Victoriana calendars, buying A VICTORIAN SCRAPBOOK is like buying a dozen of those calendars, all at once. Here the artist and her collaborators, John Grossman and Priscilla Dunhill, have designed a volume inspired by the scrapbooks kept by ladies during the Victorian era. To turn the pages of this big hardcover book is to be met, as in the calendars, with image upon image of roses, pansies, ribbon and lace, cameo pins, cherubic children, lovely ladies with their silks and perfumes, gracious gentlemen with their waistcoasts and top hats, lockets, adorable animals, lillies of the valley, and colorful Victorian "scrap." A VICTORIAN SCRAPBOOK takes the reader back to an era in which even cigarette boxes were works of art. The smoothly written text by Ms. Dunhill examines such Victorian institutions as home and family, gardens, steam travel, courtship, marriage, and the self-made man. This is a book that will be loved and looked at time and again by admirers of Hart's work. It is the ultimate book for lovers of Victoriana.

My books is about thread bare from all the times I have used it as a resource for Victorian programs that I present at a beautiful mansion museum. The photographs are too beautiful for words and the book is well written and divided into great topics. Well worth the money, you'll never regret ordering this exciting book.
