Robie, Virginia. Historic styles in Furniture. *$1.60. Stone.
“The title indicates the special point of view of this new ‘furniture book.’ Sometimes the century made the style, as in the fifteenth century; sometimes the period, as with the Italian Renaissance; sometimes the monarch, as with Louis XV. Taking each style as a chapter division, the author writes clearly of its development, highest type, and merger into other styles. The illustrations are admirably chosen and well printed.”—Outlook.
“For a convenient and well-balanced account of the general trend and development of styles this book is to be commended.”
