The Paisley Museum, established in 1871, has over the years built up an enormous collection of shawls for display &amp; research purposes. Just as important as the shawls themselves, however, are the manufacturers' original pattern books, which contain large numbers of examples of the various stages in producing a design for a shawl.150 pieces of the best pieces of artwork from the Paisley Museum have been selected &amp; have been faithfully reproduced in this lavishly illustrated volume.Dates of the designs &amp; historical information have been included whenever possible, making the book important for both textile historians &amp; students of design.The photography is quite stunning - 100 full color plates!Oversized book

With rationing discontinued, confectionary was on the menu again, and for children, Portsmouth life in the 1950s was sweet. There was no money for holidays, but a short bus ride or long walk into Southsea with a pack of sandwiches, a flask of tea and some fruit meant a long day on the beach. If you remember this then you'll love revisiting the Portsmouth of the 1950s in this book!
