Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

London, Simpkin, Marshall and Co, 1838. First edition. Quarto. (viii), 303pp, [1]. Illustrated with 24 full page lithographed plates, each of which shows numerous examples of the garments and objects described within the text, but LACKING THE ORIGINAL PICTORIAL FRONTISPIECE. An early and thoroughly comprehensive manual of clothes-making, sewing, knitting and upholstery. The book was aimed squarely at women working at home who wished to make and repair their own family’s clothes and textiles, especially those who had little or no prior experience of carrying out this type of work. In the introduction the author stresses the importance of honing these skills for domestic efficiency and economic empowerment. Detailed descriptions of the processes involved in the construction of many types of garment are provided, many of which are illustrated by the accompanying plates. Initial chapters cover the general principals of needlework with explanations of different kinds of stitches, general methodology, marking, cutting out etc. These are followed by comprehensive chapters on making baby clothes, a wide selection of clothing and linen for men, women, boys and girls, all manner of household cloths and linen, upholstery, covers and cases. These are followed by a chapter on cleaning materials and cleaning techniques for all kinds of domestic needs, a detailed chapter on knitting and finally a chapter on straw platting. The plates illustrate a huge range of detail, all of which is referenced back to the written descriptions of the process of manufacture of each item. A fascinating and rich reference book on clothes-making and needlecraft in the early Victorian era. Bound in the original cloth boards, professionally rebacked with the original gilt-lettered cloth spine laid down. Occasional light dust soiling and finger-marking. Lacking the frontispiece plate as noted above. Otherwise, a clean copy of an uncommon work with the text block sound and the binding in good condition. NB The price of this item is variable dependent on your chosen payment method. Please feel free to make contact for further information on this item or on payment options. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.…

Shopbeschreibung

I sell a small but diverse selection of mainly non-fiction antiquarian books online via ABE and also on Ebay under the trading name of N1.Books-and-Photographs. I tend to specialise in illustrated books, books on history, architecture, the applied arts, crafts and sciences but there are usually a few titles amongst my stock that stray into other fields. I am also a trained, working book restorer with over 30 years experience and am happy to quote on any book restoration project. You can see many examples of my work at www.sussexbookrestoration.co.uk and you are welcome to contact me via the link at that website should you have a book that may be in need of restoration or repair.…
