Ancient Egyptian, Assyrian, and Persian costumes and decorations
A costume history by Mary G. Houston and Florence S. Hornblower, published in London by A. & C. Black in 1920 for art students, designers, and theatrical costumers studying Egyptian, Assyrian, and Persian dress. The plates are clean outline drawings of headless draped figures with ruled scale bars, showing pleating, wrapped sashes, fringed borders, and clasp fastenings that can be lifted as pattern diagrams or silhouette motifs.
