The stuff of men's lives-found in their pockets, closets, bureau drawers, and medicine cabinets-is sublimely catalogued in this entertaining look at the paraphernalia men routinely used in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s for grooming, smoking, eating, drinking, and other essential activities. A Stiff Drink and a Close Shave showcases 150 full-colour illustrations of typical men's trappings of the day, from shaving brushes to cigarette lighters. Collectors, designers, and historians will enjoy a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of a quintessentially male culture. No library descriptions found. |
