With examples of warrior clothing, religious garments, regal wear, head dresses, chalices and much more. Wonderfully illustrated with thirty-eight colour plates to Volume I and a further fifty-six to Volume II. Collated, complete.With a previous owner's ink inscription of R. M. White, Alice Hinds and "Dashwood" to the front endpaper. Bound in rebacked quarter morocco with paper-covered boards, with original spine and spine label laid down. Externally, sound, with rubbing to the extremities, causing slight loss to the boards. The odd mark to boards. Endpapers have been renewed, with an inscription to the front endpaper.
