Item description from seller

Unmarked text. Some edge wear and tears on dust jacket. Dust jacket under clear mylar cover. Index. 211p. Measures 9x10.25 inches. Black-and-white illustrations. In this book, the author aims to challenge the view that all Victorian design was overdecorated. He cites examples of modern design that existed in vernacular objects--tools, machines, furniture--and pays homage to the originators of this silent revolution in design.
