A Victorian household cookery and domestic reference compiled by the University of Leeds Library and published in Halifax by William Nicholson and Sons in 1868, aimed at home cooks covering recipes, economy, and remedies. The four pictures are numbered diagrams of pig, calf or cow, sheep, and ox cut into joints, with numbered regions and labels marking where each cut comes from, useful for butcher-chart or meat-diagram layouts.
