The woman's book : dealing practically with the modern conditions of home-life, self-support, education, opportunties, and every-day problems
A two-volume household and self-support manual for middle-class American women, issued by Charles Scribner's Sons in New York in 1894, covering home-life, interior decoration, education, and paid work. The plates are pen-and-ink line drawings of shingled house exteriors, inglenook fireplaces with mantel shelves of china, curtained window seats, and wooded garden views, with dense cross-hatching and open cloud-filled skies useful for architectural vignettes and domestic spot illustration.
