"Victorian cottages" is the sequel to "Victorian Flower Gardens". Country life was idealized by the Victorians into an exquisite rural idyll away from the smoke and grime of the growing cities. Artists of the late 19th century sought to perpetuate this nostalgic vision and their work found its greatest expression in images of cottages and cottage life. The watercolours of Helen Allingham, Myles Birket Foster and Charles Wilson, to name but a few of the leading exponents, are romantic, but they also offer a record of rural England. Andrew Clayton-Payne contrasts the reality with an ideal and finds that the images he has chosen reveal more of the truth than a casual glance conveys. With 130 watercolours illustrated in full colour, this book should appeal to anyone who enjoys fine art and the English countryside."; 10 X 7.64 X 1.02 inches; 160 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
