Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Centuries of Costume in America, Vol. 1: MDCXX MDCCCXX It was a fitting dress for their conditions of life. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Centuries of Costume in America, Vol. 2: MDCXX MDCCCXX We see city life at this time in Ho garth's crowded perspectives; but it Was not always gay and rollicking and cheerful in cv ery London street and at all times, any more than all English country life was that of Sir Roger de Cov etley. 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.

This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cap and Gown in America: To Which Is Added an Illustrated Sketch of the Intercollegiate System of Academic Costume The academic gown, as used in America, is really a uniform. On its historic and picturesque side it serves to remind those who don it of the continuity and dignity of learning, and recalls the honored roll of English-speaking University men. On its democratic side, it subdues the differences in dress arising from the differences in taste, fashion manners and wealth, and clothes all with the outward grace of equal fellowship which has ever been claimed as an inner fact in the republic of learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real American Girl In each case, the name of the character suggests the costume. It is suggested that care be chosen in assigning the parts so that as far as may be, the girl chosen will in herself represent the nationality or type she plays. Uncle Sam. Straggling white whiskers, a tall white hat, red and white striped trousers with straps that fasten beneath the arch of the boots, a blue "spike tailed" coat and a blue waistcoat embellished with white stars. Goddess of Liberty. A loose white gown caught with a girdle of stars, or a sash in the national colors. A coronet of gold paper stars is on her head, and from her shoulders may hang a national flag draped to form a graceful robe. Messenger Boy. A buttoned-up dark blue suit and messenger boys cap. Indian Girl. A plain waist and short skirt of brown sateen with fringes of the same; leggins and moccasins; a bright striped blanket about the shoulders. The hair should be worn in two straight braids hanging over the slioulders, bound around the temples with a strip of dark clothe from whicli, in the back, two turkey feathers stand erect. Puritan Girl. A plain gown of grey sateen, low shoes with buckles, a white apron, cap and kerchief. The kerchief may be fastened in front with three tiny bows of black ribbon. Colonial Girl. A gown of flowered chintz or silkaline made with a full skirt with panniers, and a pointed, tight fitting bodice. A lace fichu may be worn, the hair powdered and dressed in a high pompadour with one large curl touching the left shoulder. Girl of 1830. A very full flounced skirt, a tightly fitted waist with flounced sleeves and lace about the low pointed neck. The hair is worn in ringlets about the face which is further framed by the flare of a flower-trimmed straw bonnet from whose crown hangs a long veil. Mitts are worn, and a very large fan and bottle of smelling salts may be carried. The illustrations in many editions of Dickens books would be of great help in planning this costume. Civil War Girl. Hoop skirts, full rufiled dress skirt, a pietty poke bonnet, plain waist with lace at the throat. The Filipino, Hawaiian and Porto Rican Girls. These three enter together and may dress alike, in peaked Mexican hats the straw outing hats will do nicely full white waists with long flowing sleeves, and dark skirts.

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.

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.
