This unusual book will appeal greatly to all who have an interest in the history of early cosmetics and beauty regimes.

Chapters include; Paints & powders, How to obtain a good head of hair, How to colour grey hair and Blemishes to beauty as well as many more fascinating chapters.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
