The house beautiful and useful; being practical suggestions on furnishing and decoration
A practical guide to furnishing and decorating middle-class homes, written by J. H. Elder-Duncan and published in New York by John Lane in 1907 for householders and young couples setting up house. Halftone photographs of single pieces against plain grounds — oak dressers, inlaid cabinets, upholstered settees — sit alongside line drawings of mirror frames and plan-like elevations, useful as cut-out furniture silhouettes.
