Victoriana

London England: Book Club Associates, 1973. In recent years, the collection and study of Victoriana and its associated history and style, have become more and more important in the general field of antiques. This fascinating period, which has for too long been denied the honour of being called antique, is now receiving the attention that it deserves. Due to the growth of mass production as opposed to the much smaller home industries of earlier times, there is a much wider range of possible items for the prospective collector than in any other field and this book gives a comprehensive guide to them all. The book is copiously illustrated with excellent photographs chosen to give the maximum coverage of each topic, and as readers are led from music covers to jewellery and from furniture to valentines, they will receive an overall picture of the era that is very difficult to obtain otherwise. The author has devoted many years to the study of Victoriana, and his book must be of great value to anyone who is in the least interested in this still relatively unexplored field of antiques. Illustrated. Some wear and tear to D/J.. First BCA Edition. Cloth. Fine/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardback.
