Colonial & Early American Fashion Coloring Book

For this entertaining and educational coloring book, popular illustrator Tom Tierney has carefully researched and accurately rendered a diversity of clothing styles worn by Colonial Americans-from the initial years of colonization to the eve of the Revolution. Spanning over 150 years of Europeaninspired fashions, 45 excellent, ready-to-color illustrations depict men, women, and children from every social class: pirates (dressed in the latest fashions acquired as booty), Puritans of the early 17th century, an indentured servant, an English officer and his lady, a colonial merchant's family of the mid-1 700s, and many more. Often a good indication of class and rank, garments include simple woolen trousers, muslin shirts, and cotton dresses for country people, maids, laborers, and artisans; with waistcoats, silken breeches, and linen shirts for well-to-do townsmen and military officials, and gowns of satin and brocade for ladies of means. Fact-filled captions accompany each finely detailed illustration in a book that will appeal not only to colorists but to costume historians and designers as well.

Dover Original. 45 black-and-white illustrations. 5 color illustrations on covers. Captions. 48pp. 8 1/4" x 11", Saddlewired, December 1998, Paperbd.
