About this title

Synopsis

A sumptuous catalog of distinctive Victorian collectibles and treasures presents some two hundred illustrations of English and American Victoriana, organized according to six rooms in a typical Victorian house--parlor, library, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and nursery.

From Booklist

Step into Wallace's parlor to learn about Victoriana in a very readable yet well-researched manner. Though her reasoning for contemporary interest in this particular period might be a bit off-base ("We want plush. We want ruffles. We want fringe, rosebuds, and ornately carved edges."), her facts and photographs are intriguing, perhaps even compelling enough to prompt a nascent collector into stockpiling. Divided by room, each of the seven sections first discusses general use and habits (the front hall, for example, as the repository for canes and calling cards), then focuses on objects belonging to that space. Where else could readers discover the proper use of the chatelaine, the waistband-hooked series of housekeeping tools? Or that postage stamps were pioneered by Great Britain in 1840? A technique to teach history painlessly or to absorb a piece of the past. Barbara Jacobs
