From the Dust Jacket: "In its focus on the changing tastes of a society newly open to the world, this study highlights a representative selection of the furniture produced by the hundreds of meubliers, cabinetmakers, carvers and decorators working in Quebec during Victoria's reign. With its wealth of images, many published here for the first time, the book demonstrates the importance of revival styles and foreign influences. This first exhaustive study of 'fine furniture' in Victorian Quebec has been published to accompany the exhibition presented at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and at the Musee de la civilization in Quebec City."
