1960s “Mrs Beetons Cookery and Household Management ” vintage wooden trug for the kitchen 4") diameter at baseI love Mrs Beetons. I have my own one that was published in the 1940s and I love paging through it. Its fascinating!. Mrs Beetons Household Management and "Family Cookery" was the ultimate guide to running an efficient Victorian household. It covered everything from cooking, to etiquette, to laundry work and table decoration. It was first published in 1861 and she was only 21. This is a 1960s edition with wonderful photographs. I love old books the
