About This Item
New York: C.B. Darrow, 1908. First edition. Hardcover. Orig. brown cloth lettered in black. Very good. 83 pages. 18 x 12.5 cm. The author was a social worker, and Clark a notable American philanthropist and patron of the arts. This work is more a chapter in philanthropy, the half title reading "Receipts for Very Economical Cookery." Its recipes, documentation of food for the underprivilaged rather than for the public. They are practical with costs noted to prepare simple, wholesome meals with no gastronomic context. The work is as much a social document than a culinary one. Light rubbing to extremities.
