by Auguste Racinet
This beautiful book, reproduced from a rare original edition, depicts in full color more
than 950 authentically rendered European costumes dating from the 9th Century A.D. to
the Napoleonic Era (ca. 1800). It is a magnificent panorama of costume, depicting the
evolution of Western clothing styles for a thousand years, ranging from the helmets,
shields and armor of the Middle Ages, and the floor-length capes and striped tights of
the Italian Renaissance to the doublets and puffed sleeves of 16th-century France, and
the high-waisted Empire look of the 1800s. This rich treasury of copyright-free
illustrations is a must for costume and fashion designers and historians, and everyone
interested in the evolution of western dress.
