Product description
Author: Marcelina Palińska
In museums, antique shops, antique markets, and even in drawers at home, we often find strange objects whose purpose we cannot guess. These are old cutlery: sickles for lemons, special knives for oranges, ‘spoon forks’ for turtles, tongs for asparagus, forks for sardines, spoons for moustachioed people and many, many more. The book by Marcelina Palińska, art historian and cultural expert, is a fascinating and beautifully illustrated guide to the tables of the 19th century middle class and bourgeoisie, a story about forgotten dishes and drinks. The author not only introduces us to a culture that no longer exists, but also tries to answer an important question: why in the 19th century did such a huge number of different cutlery suddenly become absolutely necessary? – Piotr Oczko, PhD, Jagiellonian University
Format: ebook (MOBI, EPUB)
