About This Item
V & A Publications, 2004 4to (28.5 cm), 167, [1] pp. Laminated wrappers with flaps (wrappers slightly discolored). "The book tells the story of design and decorative arts in Britain during the reign of Queen Victoria. With an empire that embraced a fifth of the earth's land surface and a quarter of its people, Britain was the workshop of the world. London was rivaled only by Paris as a focus for international interest in design and the decorative arts and British products could be found across the globe. Lavishly illustrated and unmatched in its coverage, this book explores design and the decorative arts from a number of points of view. It assesses their place in the wider history of Victorian Britain. It examines style, the question of how things looked. It asks who led taste, who decided what was to be considered beautiful, fashionable and desirable. It looks at how fashionable things - from houses to clothing - were used. It asks what was new, examining new products and innovations in the ways they were made. Together, the chapters provide an indispensable resource for the study of design and the decorative arts in Victorian Britain." (from the blurb)
