Beschreibung

This uncommon encyclopaedia sheds light on the expected presentation of the home at the end of the 19th century Much like the Victorian handbook Enquire Within Upon Everything, this encyclopaedia by Robert Kemp Philip provides information on varied and diverse topics to do with domestic life. With information on manifold topics such as games, counties, currencies, cake recipes, laundry tips, and first aid, this uncommon guide reveals the expectations of those in the domestic sphere. Four pages of publisher's adverts to the rear. In the publisher's original red cloth binding. Externally, generally smart. One mark to the front board. A little rubbed and faded to the spine. Bumped to the head and tail of the spine, with one small closed tear in the cloth at the head. Subtle tear in the cloth at the joint from the head to halfway down, and a small tear in the cloth at the joint near the tail. Both front and rear hinges starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound, with bright and clean pages. Very Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 846N8
