JMVINTAGE specializes in Books, Magazines and Treasures related to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor....and other curious people. From the first page: The purpose of this books is to recall the days of elegance at Longleat, before the sunset fades, before the moths of war and depression devour the last remaining shreds of a domestic tapestry which can never be replaced. A phase of social history which has now disappeared in this country is the backstairs lifee of a large country house. At its zenith between 1880 and 1914, it never returned to its full splendour after the first World War. Some of the old servants who still remember Longleat in its halcyon days have told me how a large country house, such as this, was managed fifty years ago.
