A visual history of walking sticks and canes / Anthony Moss ; Foreword by Dominic Strickland
This book aims to bring to life a picture of a bygone era, a time when 'the cane was king', simulating an age which the only film, theatre, literature and imagination can recreate. In this way, I wish to educate further the student, collector, historian and researcher in how the cane played such an important role in fashion.
