About the author

Joseph Strutt

1749–1802

Best remembered for bringing the look and everyday life of old England vividly into view, this eighteenth-century engraver and writer turned careful research into books that still attract historians and curious readers alike. His work on costume, customs, and popular pastimes helped preserve details that might otherwise have been lost.
