From the Dust Jacket: "This funny, funky, oddly elegant book of Victoriana and Victorian crafts grew from musty copies of CASSELL'S HOUSEHOLD GUIDE, an 1870s English ladies' magazine. 'Tasteful Tips' for running a proper Victorian household, directing one's 'staff,' and engaging in dignified recreation for ladies are among the sometimes proper, sometimes preposterous subjects discussed. Much of the book is devoted to more than 60 enchanting bibelots for the house and garden -- arts and crafts at once Victorian, at once up-to-date: shellwork boxes, an imitation ebony and ivory chessboard, furniture decorated with chintz, an illuminated back-gammon board, hair work, buttonwork, beadwork, 19th-century Christmas decorations, imitation coral ornaments -- and on. For the garden, they've designed rustic doll furniture, an acorn plant container, a dovecote, and a sundial, even an aeolian harp." Bound in the original gilt-lettered blue cloth, with blind-stamped decorations on the front cover. Subtitle: Being a compilation of authentic home and hand crafts popular in the era of Her Most excellent Majesty, Victoria, by the grace of God Queen, assembled from the original 19th century edition of Cassell's Household Guide, London, and enlarged and expounded by the present authors.".
