Reproduced directly from a rare ninteenth-century publication, these splendid engravings serve as a guide to more than four centuries of high fashion. Full-length portraits of impeccable dressed men and woman reveal what the style-conscious were wearing from the late fifteenth century to the mid 1800s. Fur-trimmed robes, brocaded gowns, and beautifully embroided apparel are on display in adaptions of portraits by Dürer, Titian, Holbein, Rubens, van Dyck, and other celebrated artists. Included are handsome representations of Tudor monarchs, the Doge of Venice, a noble classes - in Poland, Spain, Persia, Turkey, India, China, and other Asian and European countries.
