I liked the quick overview of the history of Christmas in the U.S. leading up to 1945. Though I grew up in the 1970s and 1980s, my parents grew up in the time period this book covers, and therefore I was familiar with some of the fads, decorations, and toys described here. This is a breezy read...I wish it went a little deeper into some things. But I learned some things, especially how much World War II affected social life, science and technology in the decades that followed. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
At Christmas time, post-war America's dreams and desires were on full display, from shopping centre Santas to shiny aluminium Christmas trees, from the Grinch to Charlie Brown's beloved spindly Christmas tree. Now design maven Sarah Archer tells the story of how Christmas time in America rocketed from the Victorian period into Space Age thanks to the new technologies and unprecedented prosperity that shaped the era. This book features icons of that time: a visual feast of Christmas eats and recipes, from magazines and food and appliance makers; Christmas cards from artists and designers of the era; and vintage how-to templates and instructions for Chirstmas decorations from Good Housekeeping and the 1960's craft craze.
