Victorian Scrapbook A3 Size

The Victorian Era represents the cradle of our modren society - a time when social change and new technology heralded an industrialised economy. By the time of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jublilee in 1897, claims were proudly made of the progress since her accession to the throne. Steam ships had replaced sail, the railway system had superseded the stage coach, and the motor car had just begun to replace the horse.

Not only did mass production create a new wealth of household products, creamics, toys and games, but the arrival of cheaper printing and colour lithography made possible a profusion of printed material. The music sheets, colourful scraps, advertisments, greetings cards and children's book illustrations that fill the Victorian Scrapbook - with such vigour - all give us an insight into the life and times of our forebears.

Fortunately the thousand items gathered here have survived in remarkable condition, some by chance, other by having themselves been pasted down in contemporary scrapbooks. They all combine to celebrate a time when Britain ruled an Empire "on which the sun nevers sets". all these evocative items can been seen in this large A3, 57 page colour scrapbook and is available for immediate dispatch from Sweet and Nostalgic.

A perfect coffee table book that is sure to raise thought and discussion.
