Book excerpt: Excerpt from Costume in England: A History of Dress Ancient authorities and ancient delineations are solely confided in, and in all instances the authorities fully quoted. As far as possible, facsimiles of the original delineations are given, though sometimes glaring errors of drawing may be corrected; but this as little as neces sary: and no change of position has been attempted, by which the general effect of the costume, and its form, might be mis represented. All the drawings have been made upon the wood for the engraver by myself, and executed under my own su perintendence, and a great number consists of specimens now for the first time engraved; but in all instances each illustration has been copied when practicable from the original, whether engraved before or not.

The colonists lived close to nature - they touched the beginnings of things; and we are close to nature when all dress in russet. The homely butternuts of the Kentucky mountains express this; so too does khaki, a good, simple native dye and stufl; so eagerly welcomed, so closely Cherished, as all good and primitive things should be.

Download or read book Costume and Fashion written by Herbert Norris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Costume and Fashion: The Evolution of European Dress Through the Earlier Ages Despite the multiplicity of books on Costume already available, I found frequently in the early days of my professional work the greatest difficulty in securing authentic dated information to enable me to portray faithfully the modes and fashions of a chosen period. Many years ago, therefore, I started to compile a chronological list of dated notes and sketches on Costume and accessories, and have continually added to the list examples of unquestioned authenticity. It has been of the greatest value in the supervision of costumes for historical plays, pageants and films, and formed the basis of my course of lectures on Costume. Much of the information given in this volume has been published before, and is available elsewhere, in fragmentary form, to anyone who has the industry and the time to pursue the details in a hundred books (in half a dozen languages) and a thousand illuminated mss., pictures, statues, mosaics and frescoes scattered throughout Europe, together with the knowledge to extract therefrom the facts of design and period which they record.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Costume: Fanciful, Historical, and Theatrical In those days the Roman women made a rule of wearing a toga, which, hanging from the neck or the head, fell over the shoulders and touched the ground at the back. The toga was either white or yellow for persons of rank, when the border was purple, but the lower orders had the toga dyed, and in times of mourning chose it in black. Within doors the toga was discarded alto gether in favour of the simple tunic, which was worn with or without the girdle, and made either of woollen material or cotton or thin gauze. TO wards the latter part of the Empire the tunic was lengthened, and bore sleeves adorned with buttons according to Hellenic fashion; indeed, the sleeve seemed then, as now, to indicate style, for the earlier types reached only to the elbow, and gradually they extended to the wrist, and finally to the ground.

Download or read book The Evolution of Fashion Classic Reprint written by Florence Mary Gardiner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the dawn of history until the start of the last century discover the history and changing nature of fashion. The Evolution of Fashion is a brief book and is not overly technical. It is easily accessible those for without specific expertise in the area of fashion and a must read for anyone with interest in historical costume. The book begins with the item of clothing that is perhaps considered the cornerstone of fashion - the dress. Florence May Gardiner briefly explores the history of the dress, tracing its development from Ancient Egypt, to the Greeks and Romans, and through the 12th, 14th, and 16th centuries in Britain. Through descriptions and images, Gardiner highlights the changes over time that lead to the development of modern dresses, circa 1897. The book takes a similar approach to other items of fashion, including headgear, gloves, footwear, bridal costumes, and specialty items such as funeral-wear and fancy costumes. Space is devoted to a brief history of each category of clothing, with each chapter concluding with an examination of the current fashion. Fashion enthusiasts with an appetite for history will certainly enjoy the images and descriptions of the items deemed "en vogue" in the late 1800's, and will likely relish the opportunity to build connections between modern fashion and what is presented within this book.

Download or read book A Reading and Reference List on Costume Classic Reprint written by Brooklyn Public Library and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-13 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Reading and Reference List on Costume This list is in part composed of references used in answering ques tions asked of the Reference Department, and of references furnished by several of the branch librarians as having been useful in branch reference work. The primary purpose is to furnish a partial guide to the resources of the Brooklyn Public Library on the subject of costume. Completeness has not been attempted. Practically no references to periodicals are included, as these are generally available through Poole's Index and the Readers' Guide. Post-cards, works of art, jewelry, and other articles primarily artistic in nature are not included. A few unindexed periodicals, especially useful in the study of costume, are listed. It is hoped that the list, in addition to its use to the patrons of the library, may serve as a contribution toward a bibliography of the subject. Almost all the books listed are at the Montague Branch, but duplicates of many may be found at the other branches, or the books may be obtained through the Interchange Department. This list was prepared two years ago by Mr. Frank K. Walter, now vice-director of the New York State Library School, while he was Assist ant Reference Librarian of the Brooklyn Public Library. Additions have since been made by the Reference Librarian and the Assistant Reference Librarian of the Brooklyn Public Library.

Hogarth has revealed to us also the dark corners and yawning holes, the want and cruelty, the heartlessness, misery, and vice. Life in London was not always cheery, as in Horace Walpole's let ters - a brilliant jigging, smirking Vanity Fair, with fiddles singing, where all is sparkle and glitter.
