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.

Download or read book A Manual of Costume As written by Herbert Druitt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Costume As: Illustrated by Monumental Brasses The adequate acknowledgment Of an author's indebted ness to authorities, in a work of this kind, presents many difficulties. It was intended that a Bibliography should have been printed at the end of this book, i which would have shown the range of these obligations; but it was found to be impossible to include this, as it would have increased unduly the Size of the book. This bibliography will be issued, with some additions, in a separate form at a later date, when it is hoped that it will prove of service to the student. But it must be stated here that the author's chief indebtedness is to the Rev. Herbert Haines' Manual of Monumental Brasses, now, unfortunately, out of print, and comparatively costly, but which for more than forty years has been and still remains the standard work on the subject. Many of the illustrations are from photographs, taken directly, of the brasses themselves. The author's grateful acknowledgments are due to Mr. E. M. Beloe, junr., for his photographs of the Elsing brass; to Mr. W. H. H. Rogers, F for his kindness in allowing the use of some thirty blocks, made from his own carefully prepared rubbings; and to Mr. H. K. St. J. Sanderson for the use of his block of the brass at Cople.

Download or read book How to Read a Dress written by Lydia Edwards and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion is ever-changing, and while some styles mark a dramatic departure from the past, many exhibit subtle differences from year to year that are not always easily identifiable. With overviews of each key period and detailed illustrations for each new style, How to Read a Dress is an appealing and accessible guide to women's fashion across five centuries. Each entry includes annotated color images of historical garments, outlining important features and highlighting how styles have developed over time, whether in shape, fabric choice, trimming, or undergarments. Readers learn how garments were constructed and where their inspiration stemmed from at key points in history – as well as how dresses have varied in type, cut, detailing and popularity according to the occasion and the class, age and social status of the wearer. This new edition includes additional styles to illustrate and explain the journey between one style and another; larger images to allow closer investigation of details of dress; examples of lower and working-class, as well as middle-class, clothing; and a completely new chapter covering the 1980s to 2020. The latter demonstrates how the late 20th century and early 21st century firmly left the dress behind as a requirement, but retained it as a perennially popular choice and illustrates how far the traditional boundaries of 'the dress' have been pushed (even including reference to a newly non-binary appreciation of the garment), and the intellectual shifts in the way women's fashion is both inspired and inspires. With these new additions, How to Read a Dress, revised edition, presents a complete and up-to-date picture of 'the dress' in all its forms, across the centuries, and taking into account different sartorial and social experiences. It is the ideal tool for anyone who has ever wanted to know their cartridge pleats from their Récamier ruffles. Equipping the reader with all the information they need to 'read' a dress, this is the ultimate guide for students, researchers, and anyone interested in historical fashion.
