K. Mary E. Shaw's housewifery notebook appears to be her notes for teaching this course. The syllabus covers all aspects of running an Edwardian household, from scullery, house and parlour work, hygiene, sick nursing, and keeping accounts. Between marbled boards covered with original unbleached linen, the volume contains neat ink ms. on ruled paper with pasted-in cuttings from trade catalogues and books, detailed drawings, etc.
The notebook is divided into several thematic sections. Choose a link below to browse a section.
