Sobre este artículo
London: National Enterprises / Harry N. Abrams , 1996 Book. Illus. by Photographs Andrea von Einseidel. As New. Hardcover. 1st UK Edition. "The clothing worn in the past affords an invaluable insight into lifestyles that have disappeared forever. Choice of dress has always been affected by numerous influences - social and economic, artistic and technical - and, of course, the vagaries of individual taste. In this delightfully illustrated book, a unique account is offered of the history of dress over four centuries. Drawing on the rich resources of Britain's National Trust properties, which include numerous costume and textile collections, revealing painted portraits, and extensive documentation in the form of family correspondence, diaries, and household papers, Jane Ashelford goes beyond a mere chronicle of cut, shape, and decoration. She looks at the social aspects of dress - how styles were conveyed, how and where materials and clothing were purchased, and what people wore at all levels of society and at all ages, from swaddling bands to widow's weeds" 320p.illus.notes, bibliography, index. NOTE: Heavy book [1.8 kg] large format volume. [26x26x3 cm].
