DISCUSSION: As the Victorian era progressed more and more attention was

“Economy of rural dwellings for tradesmen and persons of limited means”. A
volume in the Weale Rudimentary series.

engravings and full-page plates; plus 1 32-page list of the publisher’s
other books. PLEASE NOTE: That house above is not actually colored light
blue, that's distortion caused by the fine cross-hatching on the plate
when it interacts with our digital camera.

hinge cracked inside, and a bit loose.

PRICE: $75 ~
