Couldn't load pickup availability
Etiquette guides like this Young Lady’s Friend from 1847 provide valuable insight into the everyday concerns of Victorian women and the roles they were expected to play in society- not only as wives and mothers but as a sort of vector for the entire family’s virtue. They are always amusing to read- some of the advice, of course, especially to do with courting and men, and is unbearably dated, while the advice on being a good friend and having good manners is quite timeless. Bound in turquoise cloth covers with blindstamped decorations in gilt. Some splits to the cloth at the hinges and bumped corners; textblock slightly askew.
