British Campaign Furniture: Elegance Under Canvas, 1740-1914

Nicholas A. Brawer
For Britain's gentlemen soldiers stationed across the Empire, elegant campaign furniture brought the comfort and civility of home to "life under canvas." Collapsible and compact, made to be carried on the march and assembled on site, these folding chairs, desks and cots-- used by armies since ancient times-- reached an aesthetic apex in 18th and 19th century England. Great photos show the pieces in packed and assembled states.

232 pgs, 8.5x11, 275 b&w & color photos, hardcover
