Book Synopsis


Trade Review

'The images are plentiful, and the book is well produced. The readability and utility of the book is enhanced greatly by its concise and well-honed argument, which builds in a useful way throughout. Each chapter uses different sources and approaches whilst also taking the chronology of the book forwards to its 1850 end point. Drawing on approaches from visual and material culture alongside diaries, pamphlets and business records, this book has much to offer historians interested in design, work, consumption and the senses.'
