Описание:
This valuable study by Iris Brooke uses theatrical costumes as contemporary clues to the wearing apparel that was in vogue in Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and Flanders from 1260 to 1840. The author, noted for her series of books on English costume, has enhanced this work with more than 200 of her own charming and accurately rendered illustrations. 32 of them in color. The survey meticulously depicts and describes more than 200 costumes, including medieval gowns with long-tongued sleeves, pocket-like slits, high waists, and crinolines. For men, among other apparel, there are cloaks, tunics, slippers, farthingales, ruffles, bombasted (padded) breeches, skin-tight trousers, top hats, and knee boots. Immensely useful to costume and cultural historians, this one-volume republication of a two-book series will appeal to anyone interested in the evolution of clothing styles.Похожие книги
