Collector's luck; or, A repository of pleasant and profitable discourses descriptive of the household furniture and ornaments of olden time..
A 1919 Boston guide to antique hunting by Alice Van Leer Carrick, written for American amateur collectors of early household furniture and ornaments. Halftone photographs show single objects against plain dark grounds — scroll-topped looking glasses, blown glassware, brass candlesticks, china and hooked rugs — usable as silhouette-ready shapes and as reference for period ornament and proportion.
