Georgians Revealed - Life, Style And The Making Of Modern Britain

For over a hundred years (1714 - 1830) a King George sat on the British throne. It was a time of transformation, as cities grew, industry thrived and trade expanded round the world. New prosperity was celebrated in great country houses and beautifully landscaped gardens, while taste and elegance drove social etiquette and fostered a new consumer boom. Travel became easier, from Grand Tours for the rich to journeys by stagecoach or private carriage for others, encouraging the spread of fashions and ideas. / Illustrated through out & an 'introduction' by Amanda Goodrich. / This is a 1st edition paperback in near to fine condition.
