About the Book

This classic, historical book is a detailed and comprehensive look at the history of historic costuming which is perfect for anyone with a professional interest in theatrical production or design.

Extensively and beautifully illustrated this is a worthy addition to any book shelf. 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.
