Demonstrates the cultural centrality of a neglected artifact: the Victorian illustrated gift book. Turning a critical lens on "drawing-room books" as both material objects and historical events, this book reveals how the gift book's visual/verbal form mediated "high" and popular art as well as book and periodical publication.
