Description:
Originally produced between 1876 and 1888, this exquisite classic has been refashioned by a team of experts from London's Victoria and Albert Museum and the Courtauld Institute of Art. It has been translated from the original French and redesigned for a contemporary audience. The result is a visual feast for the interested general reader and a treasure trove of information for the student of costume.
Expand description
With unsurpassed scope and scholarship, the encyclopedia details how men and women have dressed throughout history and across the world -- from ancient Egypt to nineteenth-century Europe, and from the Kalahari Desert to the Arctic Circle. Its coverage encompasses costumes of people from all walks of life, including princes and paupers, soldiers and scholars, bourgeoisie and bohemians.
More than 2,000 quality, full-color reproductions of Racinet's original lithographs are provided. These are presented on every other page, with facing pages of text offering descriptions of the costumes and information about their backgrounds.
