Sobre este artículo
Spring Books. Very Good/Very Good. 1990. Hard Cover. Sm 4to 0600562883 Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. Numerous illustrations. 192 pages clean and tight. The Victorian Nursery Book allows an intriguing glimpse into the nursery of a child in the Victorian age. It is a world of nannies and governesses, special pets and playthings, a world where the younger members of the wealthy Victorian family could enjoy their own games and pastimes and also where they were taught the first lessons in manners, discipline and duty. Drawing their text from diaries, magazines, children's hooks and other contemporary accounts, the authors build up a colourful picture of life in the nursery, starting from the family's first preparations for a newborns arrival to a description of a typical day which included lessons, mealtimes and the obligatory afternoon walk. Beautifully presented with lots of illustrations and photographs from the period, this book shows children in every setting and activity from the schoolroom to a first formal portrait, complete with feathered bonnet and frilly lace. The Victorian. Nursery Book successfully captures the sheltered and genteel atmosphere that was at the very heart of the Victorian world. .
