An Experienced Housewife Washing, Cleaning and Removing Stains
London Griffith, Farran and Co. Decorative Boards Good No Jacket Small 8vo.
[1893] 104 pages of pre-washing machine and hoover domestic advice-giving; exhausting merely to read. Fascinating nonetheless. Great decorative boards, ironically, the front cover has a stain, but perhaps that adds to its charm. Also contains ads for several cleaning products (the brand names mysteriously featuring frequently in the text).
