Publisher's Synopsis

Woman As Decoration is a book written by Emily Burbank and published in 1917. The book is a guide for women on how to use their appearance and behavior as a form of decoration. It provides advice on how to dress, behave, and present oneself in public in order to attract attention and admiration. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the art of decoration. These include topics such as the use of color, the importance of posture, and the role of accessories in creating a complete look. The book also includes numerous illustrations and photographs to help readers visualize the concepts being discussed. Overall, Woman As Decoration is a fascinating glimpse into the social norms and expectations of women in the early 20th century, and a testament to the enduring fascination with the art of personal adornment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
