Victorian Clothes and Crafts,
This review is from: Clothes and Crafts in Victorian Times (Clothes and Crafts in History) (Library Binding)
"Victorian rooms were cluttered with objects, some handcrafted and others manufactured. There were ornaments and potted plants, such as aspidistras, and stuffed animals and birds in glass cases."The Victorian Age was named for Queen Victoria who ruled Britain and Ireland from 1837 to 1901. During this time period, industry changed much of the traditional life in Britain. Machines replaced the human hand in crafts and people soon realized that mass production did not give the quality of the earlier handmade goods. In this book you can learn about: Victorian Crafts Clothes and Fashion Festivals and Holidays Shows pictures of old sewing machines, details of tapestry, dollhouses, decorated books, Paris fashions and paintings. You can also learn to make Victorian valentine's cards, Victorian silhouettes, decoupage and puppets. There is also a glossary and a list of further reading. Also look for Clothes and Crafts in Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Aztec Times, Middle Ages and Roman Times. ~The Rebecca Review |
