COSTUMES Through the Ages Costumes The term costume can refer to wardrobe and dress in general, or to the distinctive style of dress of a particular people, class, or period. Costume may also refer to the artistic arrangement of accessories in a picture, statue, poem, or play, appropriate to the time, place, or other circumstances represented or described, or to a particular style of clothing worn to portray the wearer as a character or type of character other than their regular persona at a social event such as a masquerade, a fancy dress party or in an artistic theatrical performance. You are bidding on a CD which contains all 7 Books Book 1 - Thomas Hailes Lacy - Female costumes, historical, national, and dramatic : with 200 colour plates. Book 2 - Thomas Hailes Lacy - Male costumes, historical, national, and dramatic with 200 colour plates. Thomas Hailes Lacy (1809 - August 1, 1873) was a British actor, playwright, theatrical manager, bookseller, and theatrical publisher. Lacy made his West End stage debut in 1828 but soon turned manager, a position he held from 1841 at The Theatre, Sheffield (destroyed by fire in 1935). The following year, Lacy married actress Frances Dalton Cooper (1819 - 1872) in that city; the couple also toured England together. Lacy's roles included Jacques (As You Like It) and Banquo (Macbeth). Book 3 - A Manual Of Costume As Illustrated By Monumental Brasses, by Herbert Druitt has over 380 pages with 110 illustrations. "The aim of this book is to give, as far as possible, a straight-forward account of the costume to be found represented on that large class of sepulchral memorials known as Monumental Brasses. The student of Costume, to whom this volume is addressed, has before him the task of clothing one of an earlier age than his own " in his habit as he lived." Book 4 - Costume Design and Illustration, by Ethel Traphagen written in 1918 has 199 pages. "The designer and the illustrator should both have a knowledge and a keen appreciation of the beautiful lines of the human form, to know what lines are important to emphasize and what to conceal in a figure which may not be perfect. Drawing from the nude is of great advantage to the student, and no serious costume illustrator should be without this valuable training." Book 5 - Costume In England: A History Of Dress To The End Of The Eighteenth Century, by FW Fairholt, 1909 has over 400 pages. "The second edition of Fairholt's "Costume in England," which appeared in 1860, has now become somewhat scarce. This fact, and the large amount of fresh matter which has since then been placed within our reach by the researches of numerous writers, and the many reprints by different societies, of rare books, are sufficient reasons for the present edition." Book 6 - Greek Dress: A Study Of The Costumes Worn In Ancient Greece, From Pre-Hellenic Times To The Hellenistic Age, by Ethel B. Abrahams, written in 1908 has 134 pages and is illustrated. "The object of this book is to give a continuous account of the dress worn by the people inhabiting Greek lands, from the earliest times of which we have any record down to the Hellenistic age... My theory as to the shape and "cut" of the himation worn by the archaic ladies in the Acropolis Museum at Athens is, I think, a new one; it is based on a very careful examination of the statues, supplemented by some practical experiments in draping a living model." Book 7 - 1607 -1800 Historic Dress, was written in 1906 has 440 pages and is heavily illustrated. "... with an introductory chapter on dress in the Spanish and French settlements in Florida and Louisiana by Elisabeth McClellan. Illustrated in colour, pen and ink, and wash drawings by Sophie B. Steel. Together with reproductions from photographs of rare portraits, garments, etc."     These Seven Classics Now On One CD! The eBooks are in Pdf format on CD and are NOT hard copies.
