Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Gertrude Moser (illustrator). 1st Edition. The Folk Costume Book by Frances H. Haire was published by A.S. Barnes and Company, New York, in 1926. This ex-library, 86-year-old, 150-page, approximately 6 1/2" X 9 3/4", believed-to-be First Edition offering is in G- condition. The primary flaw, and by far the foremost reason for my low rating as to condition, are the tender, brittle pages, made so by aging and the utilization of not the highest grade or quality of paper in the first place, and the resulting, large number of smallish tears(the vast majority of same at the various edges of pages, with an additional number on either side of bottom of volume's central seam). I felt compelled to neatly clear tape in a couple dozen instances, at least, to try to avoid their worsening/lengthening from future readers' page turning). There is modest yellowing of endpapers front and back as well as text's pages, and some of the standard library markings are in evidence(including a little mild stickiness at top-middle edge of back cover board and near bottom of spine from prior removal of circulation labeling). Shelf wear is noticeable at top/bottom edges of spine as well as at the four outer tips of cover boards. From Foreword, "The selection and reproduction of these folk costumes has been a difficult though interesting task, due to the fact that in some countries the national costume is seldom seen, and in others every small province has its distinctive dress. .There are.clothes for all classes and all occasions--for work, for mourning, for married and for single women, for master and for servant--each class, age, and season having its appropriate garb. The problem, then, in using only one illustration to represent a country, has been to select a costume that would not be out of place in any of the usual settings of dance, festival, pageant, or drama." You, Reader, can decide whether the author chose said costumes wisely as you read her extremely knowledgeable text and enjoy the 21 pages of highly colorful, distinctive Drawings of Gertrude Moser. There are some 22 countries in Europe/Asia covered, countries such as Austria, (Old) England, Hungary, Ireland, Portugal, Rumania, Spain, Wales, and Russia, not to mention United States Period Costumes(American Indian, Colonial Period, The Western Frontier Period, and the period of years between 1850-1870). Also included are Table of Contents and (List of) Illustrations. SPECIAL NOTE: Be assured that none of the fairly frequent, random tears mentioned above intrude upon or mar any of the simple, and simply lovely, Illustrations of artist Moser. Thanks very much!!.
