I'm sitting here looking at my Nana's copy of 'All About Cookery'. From my research after reading your post it would appear that this editon was printed in Melbourne in 1905. I'm not sure if it belonged to Nana or her mother originally as they didn't emigrate until 1908 when Nana was 13.<br />Nana would allow us to look through this book if we were very careful. I love the colour plates and the weird and wonderful foods and discriptions. <br />Love the apron, that'll certainly keep you clean :)Lisahttp://sewingtheseedsofchange.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472221155520819138.post-49678283089697839562011-10-19T20:00:24.278+08:002011-10-19T20:00:24.278+08:00I hadn't thought of that Sue, but depending on...I hadn't thought of that Sue, but depending on time, probably.

I'd be tempted to either rejig the apron to fit better or (if it were mine)I'd take the bottom panel, and staple it around a canvas frame and hang it on the kitchen wall!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762741913864276326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472221155520819138.post-20869081074521982502011-10-19T15:22:11.309+08:002011-10-19T15:22:11.309+08:00Wow lovely treasures Sue!Wow lovely treasures Sue!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751315680374413649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6472221155520819138.post-63630696545785738952011-10-19T12:21:32.302+08:002011-10-19T12:21:32.302+08:00Lovely post Sue :)

I collect old cookbooks and homemaking books, and when I was in London (ever so many years ago) I decided the one book I needed to come home with was an edition of Mrs. Beeton's. Fond memories -- thank you!Barb_in_GAnoreply@blogger.com
