Good resource for info on Victorian home architecture
This book is a reprint of a catalog from 1903 where you could mail order elaborately carved woodwork for your home. It provides detailed drawings of the popular styles of architectural woodwork of the period, as well as providing insight into the effects of the Industrial Revolution on the homebuilding industry in 1900. The cost of having a home with elaborately carved woodwork was reduced to the point where most people could afford it. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in old homes and Victorian architecture. Warning - the prices listed (circa 1903) will make you cry!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
