English costume from prehistoric times to the end of the eighteenth century

Clinch, George, 1860-1921 · 1910 · Chicago : A. C. McClurg; London, Methuen · 125 pictures

George Clinch's 1910 survey of English dress from prehistory to the 1700s, published in Chicago and London for antiquarians and general readers. Line drawings copied from monumental brasses, effigies and manuscripts show full-length figures in outline or reversed white-on-black, useful for silhouettes of headdresses, armour, clerical vestments and patterned gowns with clear contour and little shading.
