PINK SATURDAY - THE BEST WAY

on
Here are some more pages from The Best Way -  a very old cookery book, circa 1890. 


 Pix from Art-e-zine and altered by me


The pages are nearly disintegrating, it's so old and in such bad condition. The pages were flaking on the screen as I was scanning them!  


These are very large (300dpi) and totally unretouched, so you can do whatever you want to them including making items for sale (EXCEPT put them in any kind of collection for sale: therefore no collage sheets, no CDs etc). Left-click for the full size, and allow some time for them to load up. Right-click to copy them to your computer.









 


















It's amazing how many of these tips are still relevant today!

    Hi Susie

    Love your blog and I am recommending it on my Pink Saturday post!

    The antique cookery's pages were fascinating to read! Thask so much for scanning them.

    Love all of these vintage things. We head for London at the end of the month, arriving on October 30. We get in at noon and have the rest of that day free, then we are free the next afternoon. We bought an Oyster card for the Tube and hope to do some looking around on our own.

    Thanks for sharing your pages once more! I imagine you are safely asleep by now. Still, before it is officially Monday morning I want to wish you Happy Pink Saturday, a little late.

    (I did my PS rounds alphabetically by first name. You are almost last!)

    Hey Susie, Do I see a new blog header? Love it! And those scanned old books...wonderful! Happy belated Pink Saturday! Isn't Thomas wonderful? He and his wife, who own the "salon", are having their first baby in March and you have never seen such a proud Daddy to be.

    Hi Susie

    Thanks for the images. I'm still making my PS visits. You sent me an e-mail about entering something for the group. But I was just curious about what you were doing. Not sure what inchies, etc. are.

    Please tell me what font that writing is and where I could get it? My father used to write like that.

    So you mean the writing in the speech box I put on the old photograph? It's P22 Cezanne and here is where I bought it:
