The art of the cutler and the rise of the cutlers companies are covered, as are the gradual introduction of the table fork and the evolution of the trio of knife, fork and spoon during the early eighteenth century. The invention of stainless steel leads to the conclusion, with the de

Diane Arbus (1923-1971) is renowned for her provocative and unsettling portraits of modern Americans.

Anthony W. Lee and John Pultz put to the test Arbus’s claim that she was developing a "family album." They present o
