A fully illustrated in black and white and full colour of fashion history, including summation of clothing items and their evolution. Perfect for any devotee to the fashion altar or a student of costume design. The author, Jack Cassin-Scott has a range of books of costumes throughout different historical periods, each illustrated by him with immense focus to detail.
The writing is well researched a brilliantly detailed, the particular edition here was published in 1976 by Blandford Press in Poole, Dorset.
Along the way, this book has lost company with its dust jacket however its hardcover has protected its interior well with no owners markings or signs of major foxing with beautifully illustrated endpapers. The title to the spine has been worn however retains the gilt lettering, with marks to the exterior cover as shown in the photos but overall a lovely book, ready for a home on your bookshelf!
