Dolls' houses

Abstract

" This delightful book, introduced by artist Rachel Whiteread, takes a closer look at some of the most interesting and historically significant examples of the art of the dolls' house. From lavish country mansions to cosy suburban villas, and from a Japanese house to a modern European living, the book explores the intricate roles that the houses have played in the worlds of their owners, and provide as records of contemporary lifestyles. Specifically commissioned photography of some of the best-loved dolls' houses in the Victoria and Albert Museum takes you closer to the detail than ever before." -- publisher's description.
