HORNSBY, PETER A TIMBER FRAMER'S WO JOINERY, DESIGN & CO 11 X 8 1/2 SOFTBOUND 253 PGS, | |
Peter Hornsby's Decorated Biscuit Tins tells the story of a highly successful marketing technique operated in Britain, the United States, and many other parts of the world from the Victorian period up to the second World War. Biscuit or cookie makers discovered that their products sold better and lasted longer if they were packed in tins. The first plain, simple containers were replaced by elaborately decorated printed tins, many made to represent a whole range of fascinating domestic and family objects. These colorful and novel tins helped sell the biscuits and then remained in the home to be used as storage boxes or played with as toys, until they became the source of interest for today. Thousands of designs were made by the world's leading biscuit makers, and examples can still be discovered in trunks in Grannie's attic, filled with seed packets in the garden shed, on a shelf in the garage, or in any number of antique shops.

HOWELLS, JOHN CHOOSING YOUR CLEMATIS: 100 COLOR 6 " X 8 1/2", 120 PG | |
This book will solve the problem faced by those gardeners who want to grow clematis but do not know which one to choose. The author clarifies a complex subject in a very readable and accessible way. Gardeners may be bewildered by the choice of over 1,000 clematis in publications like Plant Finder. How can the gardener know the characteristics, growing requirements, attractions, faults and flowering time of so many? Some years ago the author devised a straightforward classification of clematis by dividing them into twelve groups, a system which is now universally followed. The main part of the book considers all the twelve goups in order of flowering. Each group has an unmistakable description with unambiguous illustrations. A number of easy to grow clematis in each group are described and illustrated. Understandable by brief directions are given for the cultivation of each group. A knowledge of just twelve clematis, one from each group, gives the key to knowing all 1,000. With this key the gardener can quickly choose what appeals and what suits the chosen planting area. There is also guidance on how to buy clematis and how to develop a clematis collection. Lists of the best clematis are provided. |

HULSEBUS, MARJORIE MINIATURE VICTORIAN LAMPS 395 COLOR PHOTOS 6" X 9", 192 PGS. | |
Miniature oil lamps are beautiful reminders of Victorian days, glistening in glass, china, porcelain, brass, and silver. Most were made in the mid-to late 1800s, though the fashion lingered somewhat into the early years of this century. The variety is staggering; lovely glass lamps can be found in a wide range of textures and colors, while china lamps often appear as figurals, or with hand-painted designs. Styles range from the typical delicacy of the Victorian parlor through daring Art Nouveau elegance. Collectors have learned to delight in the endless combinations of beauty and practicality that can be found in miniature lamps. The reference features almost 450 lamps never before seen in any book, with color photographs, detailed information, and current values for each. Collectors and dealers of lamps, glass, and Victoriana will find this book a must for their reference library. Price: $39.95 |

HULSEBUS, MARJORIE MINIATURE LAMPS 630 BLACK & WHITE IL 6 1/4" X 9 1/2", 285 | |
Miniature oil and kerosene lamps, some as diminutive as 2 1/2 inches high, are direct descendants of prehistoric lamps using animal fat and other oils. Since the miniatures which have been preserved are so small that they cannot have provided adequate reading light, their intended function remains somewhat obscure. Miniature lamps might have found uses in sickrooms, for dispelling a child's "bogeyman," or as parlor courting lamps making a suitable compromise between the requirements of propriety and romantic aura.
