    About this ebook

    Boxes, Cases, Etui, Necessaire and everything else that was used to carry essential items for travel, sewing, medicine, writing, and toiletries. Craftsmen created containers of precious metals, leather, and silks and decorated them with jewels and engraving to make exquisite and expensive items as well as practical carrying cases. Competition was fierce to see who had the most elegant snuff box, the most beautiful luggage, or carried the most expensively decorated boxes or cases containing essential daily items.

    Suzi Love

    I now live in a sunny part of Australia after spending many years in developing countries in the South Pacific. My greatest loves are traveling, anywhere and everywhere, meeting crazy characters, and visiting the Australian outback.I adore history, especially the many-layered society of the late Regency to early Victorian eras. In and around London, my titled heroes and heroines may live a privileged and gay life but I also love digging deeper into the grittier and seamier levels of British life and write about the heroes and heroines who challenge traditional manners, morals, and occupations, either through necessity or desire.Tag Line- Making history fun, one year at a time

      BOXES AND CONTAINERS.

      Boxes, cases, containers, trunks, and bags came in all shapes and sizes and were made specially for all sorts of occupations and social classes. They were also made for all sorts of places from houses, inns, horses, carriages, ships, and railways.

      In the 19th Century, decorative boxes were used to keep, and to display, correspondence, cigars, jewels, and craft or sewing bits. And for so many years around the end of the 1700s and the early 1800s, countries were at war so hundreds fo thousands of men were on the march or on the water to fight battles.

      No wonder the French called a little box or case filled with essentials a ‘Necessaire’. They carried
