Victorian Home (Historic Communities)
Elaborate design was the hallmark of The Victorian Home during the Victorian era in North America. Full-color photos show why houses of this period were often called "painted ladies" due to their ornate woodwork, colorful exterior, and lace trimmed windows. Rich illustrations show how Victorian values and tastes were reflected in the design of:
" the basement, which contained the kitchen and the dining room
" the first floor parlor for lavish entertaining
" the upper floors where people slept
" nursery, servants' quarters, and the scandalously secretive water closet
With the appeal of a field trip to a living history museum, these books provide countless details about life in another time period. With a combination of drawings, photographs, maps, and narrative stories the past is recreated in full-color. Daily life and activities are emphasized with sections on chores, going to school, clothing, travel, work, fun, various rooms in a house, barns and outbuildings, and so much more. If you've wondered how clothes were washed, food prepared, spare time spent, types of work to do, and maybe some more interesting details like how faces and hands were washed without indoor bathrooms, these books will help you understand life and living in the 1800s. 32 pgs, pb ~ Janice
