Sundials and Roses of Yesterday : Garden Delights Which Are Here Displayed in Every Truth and Are Moreover Regarded as Emblems

Omtale

The American author Alice Morse Earle (1851–1911) practised a distinctive form of historical writing which made innovative use of material evidence in its focus on the details of everyday life. Lavishly illustrated, this 1902 work illuminates the social history of two 'garden delights': sundials and roses.
