À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Since the invention of photography there has not been a history of fashion completely illustrated by photographs -- until this one. Photography historian Alison Gernsheim first studied Victorian and Edwardian fashion in order to be able to date photographs in her collection. Of course the photos soon proved to be the best of all fashion plates -- authentic, detailed, as decorative and charming as top fashion illustration. When united with identifications and descriptions of the chief costume articles, and a commentary that includes childhood memories of the period, the resulting history is doubly indispensable -- equally useful and delightful to serious and casual readers. The invention of photography preceded that of the crinoline by about a decade. Pre-crinoline bonnets, stovepipe hats, and deep d colletage are featured in the first of these 235 illustrations -- including a beautiful 1840 daguerreotype portrait of a lady that is the earliest study of its kind extant. From 1855 to the 1870s the crinoline gave shape (whether barrel, bell, teapot, or otherwise) to English women, and their shapes fill many of these full and half-page photos. English men went beardless in top hats and frock coats; as in other eras, the sporting wear of the previous generation became acceptable morning and evening town attire. Styles and accoutrements came and went -- moustaches, straw hats, bustles and bodice line, petticoats, corsets, shawls and falsies, flounces, ruffles, lace, and materials -- satin, silk, velvet, woolen underwear, full-length sable, and osprey feathers. Many of the models for these fashions were already fashionable enough -- Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, Lillie Langtry, Winston Churchill, many archdukes, duchesses, counts, princes, and Queen Victoria herself. Photographers are identified where possible, and include Nadar, Lewis Carroll, and the Downeys. Every photograph is captioned and annotated.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • An informative read if interested in Victorian and Edwardian fashion

    I am very happy with this book. Since I am a collector of antique clothing, I purchased this book in order to become more knowledgeable about the elements of Victorian and Edwardian clothing. I like that it is detailed and includes the information I was looking for. I do not like that the author, at times, does not include the definition for some fashion terms (i.e. engageante = an undersleeve). Overall, for the price I paid, I am happy with the book. I have learned a great deal, which is exactly why I purchased it. If you are looking for a detailed book on Victorian and Edwardian fashion, this is a great find. However if you are looking for more of a general overview, this might not be the best choice. Photos supplement information in the chapter.

  • A very nice little book.🙂

  • Victorian & Edwardian Fashion

    This book contains wonderful pictures of real people from this beautiful era. It also contains factual information. I have not studied the facts of this era and could not verify how accurate the information in this book is. I do recommend the book to anyone studying the costuming, hairstyles, & photogenic dispositions of the people of this era.

  • Victorian and Edwardian Fashion

    This book is wonderful for re-enactors who are trying to recreate costumes from the Victorian Era. Pictures say a 1000 words. If you are just interested in "what people" looked like/dressed like - this is it also. I myself love this book as a reference to my sewing.
