Walking Sticks by Catherine Dike
For centuries man has used the stick for many purposes, both decorative and practical. Later it became a symbol of authority, carried by tribal chiefs, army officers and policemen, and a costume accessory, an appendage of the swaggering dandy. This book examines the two main groups of walking sticks and canes: gadget sticks and decorative ones.
Catherine Dike is a collector of canes. She has researched their history and co-published two reference books. She has also written numerous magazine articles and organised several exhibitions on the subject.
