"This book presents a dazzling version of the Victorian world, surprisingly one of the most colourful periods in history. It dispels the myth that the Victorian era was a dreary landscape of 'dark satanic mills' and cities choked with smog. Instead, it shows how developments in art, science and technology resulted in an explosion of colour that was embraced by artists, designers and regular people of the nineteenth century"-- Provided by publisher.
