Pandora would have had the best of times between these two covers.
For those who just can't resist a peek under the lid, like the
author, there's endless full-color satisfaction inside. An intrepid
collector and antiques scholar and dealer, Burgess gives the inside
scoop on every manner of containers, from apple boxes to their zinc
decorations. Inside empty boxes, she finds the hopes that filled
brides' chests, weaves a story about the sewing chores of
housewives of yore, gives you a taste of what snuff the men were
made of, and sheds light on where candles once awaited nightfall.
Inside boxes ranging from Shaker plain to the outrageous
constructions of wooing gentlemen, Burgess takes the lid off life
in the nineteenth century.
