The corset and the crinoline : a book of modes and costumes from remote periods to the present time
A costume history of corsetry and hooped skirts published by Ward, Lock and Tyler in London in 1868, compiled by William Barry Lord for general readers interested in dress and its past. The plates are line engravings of single standing women, drawn frontally against loose hatched shading, showing tight-laced bodices, ruffs, crinolines and trained skirts with lace trim; useful for silhouette studies, period garment detail and isolated figure cut-outs.
