This volume explores institutions such as department stores, other shopping venues like drapers, as well as specialist stores that sell "luxury items". The volume also includes material on the Crystal Palace and other "colonial" exhibitions, shopping arcades, bazaars, and planned shopping venues that did not materialise.
