Le Costume ancien et moderne ; ou, Histoire du gouvernement, de la milice, de la religion, des arts, sciences et usages de tous les peuples anciens et modernes, d'après les monumens de l'antiquité et accompagné de dessins analogues au sujet
Giulio Ferrario's multi-volume survey of the dress, religion, warfare and customs of ancient and modern peoples, issued in Milan from 1815 for European scholars and collectors. Hand-coloured engravings show processions of figures in flat bright robes, temples and pagodas in open landscape, ceremonies with musicians and animals, and rows of costumed types useful as silhouettes and colour reference.
