Descrizione

This is a very good hardcover copy in the very scarce pictorial dust jacket. Signed and inscribed by the author on the front endpaper. The book is very clean inside and out. No marks to text or plates. The jacket is about 95% there, but chipped around the top edges, mostly the rear panel. Top of spine chipped too. Illustrated in black & white with numerous photographs of period style furnishing. Winnifred Fales became famous in the period between the wars, for her staunch opposition to any kind of modern design. From her position as an editor with the journal Good Housekeeping, she tirelessly campaigned against first art nouveau and then the rush of even more modern design like art deco. In her weekly columns she dispensed advice to readers about how to maintain standards of good taste and decor in the home. 10 1/2" high X 8" wide, 295 pages. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
