Used - Very Good. This book is in very good condition. The DJ has slight damage, some limited signs of wear and tear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. This book has clearly been well maintained and looked after thus far. The book is protected with a Cellophane cover.

This book "covers every aspect of Victorian art, pastimes and trinkets that would interest the collector, including both the important changes in serious taste that took place between the end of the Regency and Art Nouveau, and all those examples of the minor arts like Valentine cards and tinsel pictures, that are, perhaps, more redolent of their epoch than the more ambitious works. The text is accompanied by many pages of photographs, from a wide variety of sources, which, together with detailed captions, show the collector precisely what he should look out for.
