A Must for Any Miniature or Dollhouse Enthusiast!5
This fascinating book documents the series of miniature rooms illustrating various phases and types of European interior design since the sixteenth century, which were created by Mrs. James Ward Thorne with the cooperation of The Art Institute of Chicago. They were first exhibited in The Art Institute in 1937, and were one of the most popular exhibitions in the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco in 1939 and at the New York World's Fair in 1940. Each black-and-white photograph is accompanied by text on the facing page explaining the historical context and relating details about the furnishings and overall design. I've always been fascinated by miniatures and dollhouses, and this book never fails to pull me back into its pages whenever my eye falls upon it as I pass my bookshelf!
