A really quaint book. The book has extracts of a popular victorian ladies magazine. A rather high society magazine, that had etiquette, fashion,beauty and famous people and home decorating of the time. Lovely to look at. How the upper middle class, aristocracy and royalty of the time. Very impractical to copy today, even if you could find the items available. Some very strange beauty tips. (We have come a very long way ,thankfully, since then).very outdated etiquette,eccentric by today's standards. Makes you wonder who thought of them and why they were followed as being normal. Recipes that are strange and virtually impossible to follow.A servants life was very u necessarily complicated.Lovely photographs to look at.
