Almost any item of furniture, hardware, household equipment, clothing or food in use in the British Isles at the turn of the century is illustrated and priced in this very substantial mail order catalgoue.
The work contains about 1,400 large pages of many thousands of illustrations.
It portrays an age. It shows us how we used to feed, travel, dress, entertain ourselves and generally behave.
It might be difficult to obtain a copy today since the volume is out of print. Try ebay or Amazon's secondhand section.
