Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

The first edition. 

A vanishingly scarce work, with no copies being held in institutional libraries. 

Illustrated throughout with charming illustrations in pink, black and white and a full colour illustration to the rear. 

This charming work was created by the 'Marshall Fabrics' company, and provides the history of the apron, from 1307 to the time of publication, advertising their 'festival apron' design at the end of the work. The 'festival apron' was a design created by the company to celebrate the turn of the century.
