Living National Treasures: A Celebration of British Craftsmanship Through the Eyes of Country Life - Hardcover
Synopsis
A Celebration of British Craftsmanship through the Eyes of Country Life. A lavish celebration of traditional British craftsmanship, from broom squire and duck breeder to silversmith, stamp artist, and stilton maker. This splendid large-format volume features 165 superbly reproduced color photographs. This magnificent collection of color photographs, with accompanying text, offers rich testimony to the range of traditional crafts still practiced in Britain. From the more familiar butler and bookbinder to the reed harvester, coppicer, and Lord's dinner lady, Living National Treasures captures the essence of a little-known Britain. The crafts have been laboriously learned and painstakingly practiced, and this volume, in some cases, is a record of their last surviving practitioners. Living National Treasures is not only a handsome volume of photographs, but also an important historical document recording ancient skills and talents in danger of disappearing in the wake of modern technology. 144 pp 11 x 13 165 color photos
