Inside Out Library

The heritage of dress; being notes on the history and evolution of clothes

Webb, Wilfred Mark, 1868- · 1912 · London, The Times Book Club · 182 pictures

Wilfred Mark Webb's 1912 study for the London Times Book Club traces how garments and their details survived as vestiges, aimed at general readers curious about costume history. Pen-and-ink line drawings isolate single features against blank ground: a hooded head in profile, coat skirts and cuffs, frogged braid, button rows and pocket flaps, useful as clean spot figures and pattern details.
