Mrs. Beeton’s Household Management

Mrs. Beeton's Household Management (undated) 'has been edited, revised and enlarged several times since Beeton's death and is still in print as at 2016. Food writers have stated that the subsequent editions of the work were far removed from and inferior to the original version. Several cookery writers, including Elizabeth David and Carissa Dickson Wright, have criticised Beeton's work, particularly her use of other people's recipes. Others, such as the food writer Bee Wilson, consider the censure overstated, and that Beeton and her work should be thought extraordinary and admirable. Her name has become associated with knowledge and authority on Victorian cooking and home management, and the Oxford English Dictionary states that by 1891 the term Mrs Beeton had become used as a generic name for a domestic authority. She is also considered a strong influence in the building or shaping of a middle-class identity of the Victorian era.' Wikipedia

This is a good clean circa 1920s (best guess based on the illustrations, pictures and advertisements).  There is little foxing and spotting and the cover and spine are well bound.  Mrs Beeton's Household Management is an essential addition for any vintage cook book collectors. https://hungrytraveller.com.au/3d-flip-book/mrs-beetons-household-management-unknown/
