But a strange change of taste took place in England during the late years of Queen Victoria's reign, of which one now never hears word, and yet we owe so much to it. The taste of Talbot and Henry. which started with a Gothic revival of short popularity, led through what was then termed Jacobean aud Italian styles. They were really nothing like their Greek, Jacobenn or Italian prototypes to a scholar of today, but they rapid new phases of evolution of taste based SIE A.

Comfort was the main feature of these homes, and steadily, with the improvements in textiles, wall- papers, and decorations, the taste of the public s raised, helped by the wonderful development of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the art schools. In addition, improved travelling facilities and the publica- tion of Eumerous books made the taste of the English home builder more and more scholarly.
