Book Review: A Wine- Lover's Glasses: The A.C. Hubbard, Jr. Collection
Summary: 5 Stars

Beautiful color and black and white photographs depict over 600 glasses and bottles, and make this book a unique and valuable reference source for curators, librarians, collectors, dealers, and wine lovers with an intellectual interest in wine. For example, the chapter on wine bottles contains detailed photographs of 81 bottles and bottle seals dating from 1650 to 1830. I know of no other source extant that records so completely the visual history of 17th, 18th and early 19th century wine bottles. The same comment can be made for the other chapters that discuss and show the emergence of English drinking glasses.
