British Trust, continued from page 25...<br />
A distinguished doll house featured among the hundreds of<br />
items dates from the 18th century and still depicts the cherished<br />
interiors of that era. <strong>The</strong> pictures on the wall are actual oil<br />
paintings; the silver on the table is real and hallmarked. Moreover,<br />
this very doll house was once a plaything of legendary author<br />
H. G. Wells.<br />
“Our possessions gratify our sense of self, and in addition<br />
what we own tells others about us—the place we hold in society,<br />
our status, our cultural assumptions, and how we want others to<br />
regard us,” notes the book’s introduction. “And after we have<br />
gone, the physical legacy we leave intrigues later generations.<br />
Our treasures, whether glorious of relatively humble, are a<br />
testament to the people we were, the values held, and the things<br />
we used, admired and loved.”<br />
