«Love Tokens» is the illustrated essay by Julia Jones and Kenneth Ames, published by David Porteous Editions in hardback (64 pages, in English).
This essay traces the history of the objects people have used to declare and preserve affection: jewellery, portraits, pieces of silver and other domestic treasures. Derek Harris's photographs show these pieces as traces of the sentimental customs and material culture of the past.
Originally published in 1992, it falls within the fields of folklore and material culture studies. In catalogues it appears classified under Art and Culture and under Folklore, Myths and Legends.
It will interest scholars of folklore and material culture, as well as collectors of sentimental objects and historical curiosities.
Julia Jones, formerly also known as Julia Thorogood, is an English writer, editor, book publisher and patient advocate.
