The Book Of Costume
by Davenport, Millia
Volume 1 covers from the Ancient Orient (Babylonia) to Spanish costume in the XVI century, mostly European costume in 468 pages. Loaded with black and white glossy photos of art with costumes for each century in between. A treasure of costume history, Ms Davenport's remarks are witty and fun to read as she critiques other costume books and the writing of costume books.
