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 ancient and modern costume, government, religion and customs of all peoples, issued from his own press in Milan from 1815 for scholars and collectors of antiquities. Hand-coloured etchings stage groups of figures in ceremonies, processions, cavalry skirmishes and interiors, giving clear silhouettes of regional dress, turbans, robes and armour against light washed architecture and landscape.
