188547020Boston: McCormick 1885. Very Good. Boston: McCormick 1885. Original large albumen photograph 19.5x23.5cm mounted to stiff grey card stock 25.5x27cm. Scattered spotting to image some waviness from exposure to damp unevenly fixed especially at the bottom left-hand corner else Very Good. Photographer's identifying address label affixed to verso McCormick / 22 Winter St / Boston. <br /> <br /> Rare candid interior shot of a private cooking class the six women in the image all identified in pencil on photograph verso in a manuscript hand we should note one of them is referred to as George Mires maybe a typo for Georgia--none of the students are dressed in men's attire at any rate. The class is crowded around a table in a spacious high-ceilinged kitchen the instructor identified as the woman with the spoon pinned to her dress. The kitchen table is the portion of the photograph that is most poorly fixed though it appears the women are learning to bake--one woman uses a wooden spoon to mix batter in a bowl another pensively holds her rolling pin. .

The success and stature of the French original is compared to that of Mrs. Rundell. It has been suggested that this is in fact a second edition of a work with a similar title published by Thomas Boys in 1825 Bitting p. 554; Oxford p. 157; Wellcome III 67; however this would contradict the Preface and there is no mention of such a kinship in Oxford who lists both volumes.
