A thorough examination of all things Victorian gives readers an intimate and true picture of life in 19th century Britain. Ranging from cradles designed to look like tropical lilies, to cast iron deer for the front lawn, to memorial jewelry made of hair, to crazy quilts of satin and velvet, the numerous examples provide an insight to what may seem to be the extravagances of the time. Includes several pages on the history of the "lady's album" and its natural companion, the greeting card. Black and white illustrations throughout with a single color added the the full-page illustration that marks the beginning of each album or chapter. Includes bibliography and index.
