During the Gilded Age, "Shoppells Modern Mail order Home Catalogue showcased the Classical design of the Victorian home as an avant-garde in the era's great technology known as indoor plumbing and central heating.
In McGuffey"s Modern home Catalogue we playfully contrast the hand-drawn, vividly described pages with Granville's CAD-generated plans and today's bland advertising language.
​
ex: In 1887, "to paint a Victorian is a tale of foolishness, brute force, ignorance, stupidity, and terror...the ultimate joy."

A Train needs to be on a Track, structured by the Track to run properly. God's Track is found in God's Word.
