The spoon; with upwards of one hundred illustrations, primitive, Egyptian, Roman, mediaeval, and modern
A survey of spoons from primitive, Egyptian, Roman, medieval and modern times, published in London in 1845 by Wiley & Putnam, with the Society of Literary and Scientific Chiffoniers credited among its makers. The plates are engraved pages of numbered spoon drawings, and a designer can draw on their range of bowl shapes, handle forms and ornamental finials, from plain Roman ladles to figured medieval knops and a small standing figure.
