The Costume History by Françoise Tétart-Vittu Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Racinets Costume History is a landmark in the study of clothing and style. From Eskimo attire to high French couture, this unrivalled encyclopedia is an invaluable reference for students, designers, artists, illustrators, and historians, and anyone interested in style. Publisher Description Originally published in France between 1876 and 1888, Auguste Racinets Le Costume Historique was in its day the most wide-ranging and incisive study of clothing ever attempted. Covering the world history of costume, dress, and style from antiquity through to the end of the 19th century, the six volume work remains completely unique in its scope and detail. This TASCHEN reprint presents Racinets exquisitely precise color illustrations, as well as his delightful descriptions and often witty commentary. Spanning everything from ancient Etruscan attire to French womens couture, material is arranged according to Racinets original plan by culture and subject. As expansive in its reach as it is passionate in its research and attention to detail, Racinets Costume History is an invaluable reference for students, designers, artists, illustrators, and historians; and a rich source of inspiration for anyone with an interest in clothing and style.
