From the dust jacket: In the nineteenth century, proud householders commissioned painters to record their dwellings, much as today's owners might take a photograph. These charming watercolors portrayed with faithful accuracy the shape of rooms, the organization of the furniture, the patterns of carpets, or the drape of window hangings. People of all kinds had their homes immortalized, from humble vicars and artists to the grades families of Europe. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Frick Collection in New York, this handsome volume includes illustrations of more than sixty nineteenth-century interiors.
