As the domestic space was a highly important aspect of nineteenth century life, the volumes explore the ways in which people created and interacted with interiors. The primary sources reflect aspects of cultural history, social history, material culture, as well as the all-important architecture and interior design.The volumes explore working-class and middle-class homes, the different styles of decoration and design, the layouts of the nineteenth-century home, and the practical aspects of decorating and furnishing a home. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this collection will be of great interest to students and scholars of art history.
