Modes and Manners of the Nineteenth Century as Represented in the Pictures and Engravings of the Time

Three volumes. Very good in beige cloth, upper cover and spine delightfully decorated with embossed floral design and gilt titles, lower panels a little marked, gilt top edges. With floral end papers and good quality, fresh pages in square bindings, volumes I and III just starting to crack. Illustrated with reproductions of contemporary paintings and drawings which the author uses to depict the fashions and social manners of the times. A very attractive set. From the collection of a former costume designer at Yorkshire Television, who studied at Leeds College of Art. As this item is heavy additional postage costs may apply.
