Description

An original 1913 edition of Mrs Beeton’s Cookery Book, published by Ward, Lock & Co. Limited, London and Melbourne.

A wonderful piece of early 20th-century culinary history, covering cookery, household work, marketing, trussing, carving and traditional kitchen practice.

This edition is beautifully illustrated throughout with period black-and-white illustrations alongside full-page coloured plates, including wonderfully decorative examples of prepared dishes and presentation.

The 1913 publication date is confirmed on the title page.

Bound in its original red cloth boards with black lettering to the front, the book has exactly the timeworn appearance you would hope for from a cookbook more than a century old.

A lovely addition to a collection of antique cookery books, kitchenalia or social and domestic history.

The book displays age-related wear throughout, including rubbing and wear to the covers and spine, bumped and frayed corners, page toning, foxing and occasional marks consistent with its age.

Please study the photographs carefully for overall condition.
