First published in 1964, and regarded as the outstanding authority on the evolution of English domestic furniture from the Middle Ages to the end of the Georgian period, "The Shorter Dictionary of English Furniture", by Ralph Edwards, is a work of impressive and enduring scholarship which should find a place in the library of every student of furniture history. This massive tome, the seventh impression, published by Country Life in 1979, contains a vast archive of black and white photographs of some of the finest pieces of English furniture ever made, together with a learned discourse on the development of the cabinet maker's art over the centuries. Hard covers, large format, 684 pages, approximately 1,900 illustrations, museum quality publication throughout, original dust jacket, now somewhat faded. A first class work of reference.
