Notes:
Seen as one of the most comprehensive references to objects made of wood and woodworking, a key text for the identification of objects made of wood. It explores the woodworker's craft from the Middle Ages to modern times. It looks at the objects themselves but also the social history and context attached (customs, activities of trade and domestic use), woodworking techniques used to create and changing fashions.
The book is organised under 28 topics, beginning with an historical overview and then describing objects. Approx. 3300 objects are illustrated.
