The world of forgotten things. Prokofieva O.

This book is about ordinary things in the past, but not clear to us, an attempt to systematize information about how people lived in the past, what they ate, how they dressed, what they used in everyday life, about objects invented by mankind for many centuries for many centuries But “forgotten”, since they were replaced by more advanced, or cleaned into chests, as unnecessary. Today, few people know about such items as Kopowke, Kosnik, Carne de Bal, Tremblez, Pandora, Brother, and once they were an integral part of people's everyday life. Many of these items are preserved on the canvases of old masters, in antique shops and in the markets, in meetings of museums and collectors.
