Tie one on! : a miniature history of the apron by Maryann Riker
By the same author who gave you the history of the button previously featured on our Tumblr, here is a short history of the apron. It focuses mainly on what could be considered the most recognizable image of apron wearers-1950's housewives-although I would argue that backyard grillers would be a close contender.
"4.5 x 4.5"; 8 pages. Double-sided accordion book. Four pop-ups. Page edges sculpted to resemble lace. Bound in color copy of vintage papers."--Catalog
Includes some matching lace and ties on the book itself.

^While aprons can be very protective, you should still go easy on the lighter fluid while doing some end of summer grilling this month!
