Mœurs, usages et costumes au moyen âge et à l'époque de la renaissance
A popular history of medieval and Renaissance daily life by Paul Lacroix (P. L. Jacob), published in Paris by Firmin Didot in 1872 for general French readers interested in costume and custom. The 388 plates are line facsimiles of illuminated manuscripts, woodcuts and miniatures showing dancers, musicians, tournament crowds, guild assemblies and street scenes, giving designers clean outline figures, period dress, heraldry and crowd groupings that separate easily from their backgrounds.
