This is the definitive sourcebook for any miniaturist wanting to create a truly authentic Tudor or Stuart dolls' house. Brian Long's lifetime of research and love of period houses and the way people lived in them has resulted in a book that enables miniaturists to finish, furnish and enjoy their dolls' house in the knowledge that it is true to period in every detail. Many regional variations in timber-framed house type and materials are discussed as well as decorating and furnishing the dolls' house interior, information on food, furniture and sanitation. Here you will find charts showing the period at a glance, inventories and their use in furnishing a house correctly, places to visit, books to read, and even mouse traps, kennels, bee hives, bird cages and dovecots. This is a unique and indispensable miniaturist's guide to a particular historic period, illustrated with colour photographs and line drawings. It is a sequel to same author's Authentic Georgian Dolls' House.
