The heritage of dress; being notes on the history and evolution of clothes
A popular study of costume history by naturalist Wilfred Mark Webb, published in 1908 by McClure in New York and Grant Richards in London for general readers interested in how garments evolved. The 162 figures are small line engravings of isolated details—coat backs with buttoned belts, hoods and collars, cuffs, pockets and survivals of vestigial trim—drawn in clean outline with hatched shading and no backgrounds, easy to cut out as spot illustrations.
