A household cookery and management compendium published in Halifax in 1870 by William Nicholson and Sons, covering meats, poultry, game, confectionery, sickroom diet, and home economy for domestic readers. The engravings are plain line cuts of a dressed pig with numbered cuts marked for carving, a trussed bird, and a roasting sucking pig, showing butchery and preparation diagrams a designer could adapt for food-related or instructional graphics.
