Mrs. Beeton Serving Meat Prints.

These four pages are taken from Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management. The book includes several colored pages of illustrations throughout, which were a huge selling point. Other than the holidays, I know I really don’t plate our everyday meals, it’s just not practical. The thought, however, has a formal Victorian allure, much like reading Pride and Prejudice.

Enjoy!
