Dealer Notes

An intriguing possible source of inspiration for Beeton’s great work on Household Management, for which she is known to have copied from a wide range of material. Manuscript material associated with Beeton is extremely rare on the market, presumably due to her early death. We know of no cookery manuscripts associated with her.
