The author, James H. Head was influenced to write this book because of his desire to extend the influence of a pure and ornamental art, to promote and extend a perfect system of what is really beautiful in the forming of the Tableau, to awaken in the minds of many a quicker sense of the grace and elegance which familiar objects are capable of affording, and to encourage all to cherish a taste for the beautiful. First published in 1860. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Home Pastimes; Or, Tableaux Vivants (Dodo Press) (J. H. Head)
