Pictorial Webster's: A Visual Dictionary Of Curiosities
Not a dictionary of words, but a dictionary of images: more than 1,500 engravings that illustrated the Webster's dictionaries of the 19th century. Meticulously cleaned and restored by a maker of fine-press books, they reveal the way Victorians saw the world, from Acorns to Zebras, Bell Jars to Velocipedes. A treasure-trove for art lovers, designers, and anyone with an interest in visual history. Hardcover, 512 pages.
