Description
Midcentury Christmas Stocking Stuffer Edition by Sarah Archer takes you back to an era when America was a wonderland of department stores, suburban cul-de-sacs, and Tupperware parties.
At Christmastime, postwar America's dreams and desires were on full display. From shopping mall Santas to shiny aluminum Christmas trees, from the Grinch to Charlie Brown's beloved spindly Christmas tree, this book captures the essence of the era.
With more than 100 colourful illustrations and iconic designs, Sarah Archer celebrates this turning point in Christmas history in America. It was a time when new technologies and unprecedented prosperity made anything seem possible.
Midcentury Christmas Stocking Stuffer Edition is sure to be on everyone's wish lists.
