Review: This is an elegant large volume, full of paintings of 18th-century interiors and the families who occupied them. The result is an almost year-by-year record of the clothing, furnishings, and daily routine of the British in that era. Includes sketches from the booths at (now vanished) Vauxhall Gardens, Highmore's illustrations for "Pamela", and several detailed tea table settings. Rich resource for clothing information, as well.
