Printing technology, as well as academic appreciation of furniture, have made monumentous strides since then, as is reflected in this book. Construction details are carefully described for each piece, but the photos do not emphasize construction. This is a quality catalog of the first order, and highly recommended. Printed in Canada. At 618 pages, this is a veritable tome on the subject.
Pictures cover a tremendous range of pieces from different periods and styles.
Includes some important photos of construction details. If you like pre-19th century oak furniture, this book is for you. Not to be confused with books on factory made oak of the 19th century. This book deals strictly with earlier hand-made pieces. Printed in Great Britain.
