{"product_id":"9781944633431","title":"Vintage Homes: Adult Coloring Book: Perspectives of Queen Anne \u0026 Other Classic Victorian House Designs","description":"The most charming homes of the later Victorian era were a sight to behold, from their complex structures to their ornate crafted details. \u003cbr\u003eInside this book, you can take a look back to the 1880s and 1890s, when many elaborately-decorated houses were built in America. \u003cp\u003eThese 44 authentic antique home designs have all been drawn in the perspective view - how they would look in a natural setting, or as may have been seen in a drawing of a home for sale. Many of these houses include wonderful wide porches and balconies, cupolas, turrets and towers, steep roofs, shingles, and ornate moldings and trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBroadly, the homes in this book are in the Queen Anne style, with many in the Stick or Eastlake style, though some may be considered Folk Victorian, with \"gingerbread house\" (bargeboard\/vergeboard) detailing. Most of these houses were built from wood, with many different textures, patterns, carvings and other ornamentation incorporated into the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what about the color? In addition to the creative, crafty styles of architecture, advances in manufacturing made a spectrum of paint shades affordable, and the homes that remain from this time are often vividly colored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile fans of Victorian architecture will likely admire each stunning image, these elaborate illustrations will be of special interest to experienced colorists thanks to the beautifully-detailed originals.\u003cbr\u003eThe homes from this age that remain standing today are considered historic treasures - which is all the more reason for you to explore these magnificent pieces of America's architectural past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Synchronista LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033556861168,"sku":"9781944633431","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781944633431_p0.jpg?v=1763790927","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781944633431","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
