About this Item

## COSTUME: 1700-1910: A General Guide to the Costume Collection in The Castle Museum, York 1974 ## ## THIS BOOK: Classified AS NEW: This Book is the 1974 edition. Originally published in 1974. ## This book is in AS NEW condition: The cover is in a satin finish, with a wonderful drawing of costume in three white bands, with the title within a stylised oval border## ## There is an undeniable fascination in an artistic display costume cherished by past generations. It is an emotional sense of nostalgia for the more leisurely life of a bygone age. The romance of history lies tormentingly beyond reach, hidden in folds of brocade and satin, and around the factual one feels the joy of a past redolent of gracious beauty mannered delights. One responds emotionally to the aesthetic beauty of colour, of line, of design, and one marvels at the incredible patience and exquisite craftsmanship of an that could produce, often by hand alone, the graceful and intricate embroidery of a devoted urge to perfection.## ## Costume inevitably marches hand in hand with history; the changing influences on the lives of the people are reflected in their mode of dress. One notes with regret the Georgian pastel shades, replaced by the more colours designed to withstand the factory smoke of new industries. The spacious Edwardian days gave place to changing economies, and the exigences of two world wars away the last clinging shreds of romantic costume.## ## Preserving these treasures from the past is a museum's responsibility, and this guide has been prepared by Miss Pauline J. Hartle as an introduction to the costumes so admirably displayed. It is designed to place them in a true perspective and to encourage the visitor to trace the chronological development of English costume.## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.

Store Description

Primarily any book on England with emphasis on antiquarian rare books,and any others that I feel would be of interest to me. Old England is a fascinating subject, as I live in Hampshire I have a lot of interesting books, I try to read as many as I can and teach myself more as well as being able to give a review of the book or books. Condition is relevant but as I am dealing with books of an age and a rarity it's not always the governing factor. If I haven't in stock what you require, why not give me the chance to source it for you!
