For the longest time I wanted a book about historical costumes and I finally got one! I honestly didn’t do much research and just went with what I found so I hope it’s a good one.
I’m so excited cuz I’ve always loved seeing traditional clothing in movies, series, illustrated books, and especially DOLLS!!! even if they’re not very accurate most of the time and sometimes even controversial but they’ve still helped my interest grow over time.
This is “The Complete Costume History” by Auguste Racinet, a 2019 TASCHEN reprint with color illustrations. It was originally published in France between 1876 and 1888.
