 Furthermore, the second half of the book shows various Victorian trades at work (carpenter, mason, watchmaker, druggist, ship builder) in scenes designed to be completed by cutting out and applying the correct pieces.
In addition, each scene is accompanied by a short tale or poem about the room of the Victorian house or the job of the tradesman.
