Synopsis
Over 1,450 costumed figures in clearly detailed engravings -- from the dawn of civilization to the end of the 19th century. Features many folk costumes. Captions., From 1861 to 1890 the Munich publishing firm of Braun & Schneider published plates of historic and contemporary costume in their magazine M nchener Bilderbogen. These plates were eventually collected in book form and published at the turn of the century in Germany and England. This volume presents all 125 double-spread plates from the third English edition. For the first time, the plates appear in chronological order and with English captions. Over 1,450 costumed figures are shown, from antiquity to the end of the nineteenth century, covering a wide variety of social classes, and professions: Egyptian and Assyrian kings, Byzantine emperors, Frankish and Norman nobles, priests, servants, soldiers of many lands and eras, crusaders, German knights, pages, Italian scholars, German townspeople, peasants, merchants, Dutch burghers, popes, nuns, bishops, monks, English Puritans and Cavaliers, English and French kings, Swiss citizens, French courtiers and republicans, and many more. In addition, there is excellent coverage of late-nineteenth-century folk and their costumes, captured just before the beginning of standard Western dress -- Italian, Spanish, Dutch, French, German, Russian, Eastern European, Chinese, Japanese, Asian, and others. To avoid the variable and somewhat fanciful depictions of color in the early editions, all costumes are rendered in black-and-white. A comprehensive source of historic costume in pictures, this remarkable book will be invaluable to costume designers, students of fashion design, commercial artists, and anyone interested in the history of dress. The illustrations are uniformly excellent, and the exceptionally low price makes this book even more attractive., From 1861 to 1890 the Munich publishing firm of Braun & Schneider published plates of historic and contemporary costume in their magazine Münchener Bilderbogen.

    The shipping arrived in matter of days. As far as the packaging, it was wrapped very well. There was no way that man doll was going to move. It arrived just as described. My bride doll has been waiting for her groom to show up. It was priced accordingly.

    Messaged seller but received no response. Item was delivered on time and shipping box had no damage. Item was well packaged but not as described. Product was damaged and seems to have been packaged after damage occurred. It was also very dirty, not at all the condition that was shown in listing photos. I paid $70 + shipping for a dirty, broken 1:12 scale chair and seller isn't responding. Last photo is chair next to matching sofa (also vintage) that I already had so you can see how dirty it is.
