Produktinformationen zu „Life in Miniature (ePub)“
A "comprehensive and enjoyable" guide to the centuries-long history of dolls' houses and how they illuminate our past (Books Monthly).
Dolls' houses are tiny slices of social history that give us a fascinating glimpse into domestic life over the last three hundred years. Through text and photos, Nicola Lisle explores the origins and history of dolls' houses and their furnishings, from the earliest known dolls' house in sixteenth-century Bavaria to the present, and looks at how they reflect the architecture, fashions, social attitudes, innovations, and craftsmanship of their day. She discusses the changing role of dolls' houses and highlights significant events and people to give historical context, as well as taking a look at some of the leading dolls' house manufacturers such as Silber & Fleming and Lines Brothers Ltd (later Triang).
Included are numerous examples of interesting dolls' houses, the stories behind them, and where to see them-including famous models such as Queen Mary's spectacular 1920s dolls' house at Windsor Castle. There is also a chapter on model towns and villages, which became popular in the twentieth century and also give us a window on the past by replicating real places or capturing scenes typical of a bygone era, plus advice for dolls' house collectors, a detailed directory of places to visit, a timeline of dolls' house history, and recommended further reading.
