AN EMBROIDERY BOOK
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN, ASSYRIAN,
AND PERSIAN COSTUMES AND
DECORATIONS.
By Mary G. Houston and Florence S. Hornblower.
Containing25full-page illustrations, sixteenofthem
in colour, and 60 line diagrams in the text.
Small crown quarto.
In this volume the history of Costume is traced
from the earliestages. The illustrations (which are
taken chiefly from the British Museum) are given in
facsimilefrom the drawingsof the artists ofthe period,
and, where the drawing is too primitive to be easily
understood, a garment is also shown drawn in modern
style in addition, every type of garment illustrated
;
is accompanied by a flat pattern showing the cut.
Information of this special character on Ancient
Costume is usually very difficult to obtain, and it is
anticipated that the volume will be of first-rate
importance to dress designers, to theatrical designers,
and also to the schools in which historical costume
and the history of the progress of the human race
are subjects for study.
