VICTORIAN FASHIONS & COSTUMES FROM HARPER’S BAZAR: 1867-1898. Edited and with an introduction by Stella Blum, Dover Publications, NY, 1974. “This book consists of 1,000 black-and-white illustrations from Harper’s Bazar between the years 1867 and 1898, the period of its peak importance. These illustrations not only show you what apparel appealed to our Victorian ancestors, but give you an idea of the evolutionary nature of fashion as well. You will see bustles come and go, natural forms become the vogue only to be superseded by the garments. There are gowns for the morning hours, dinner dresses, sporting costumes, traveling clothes and apparel for special occasions: weddings, communions, funerals, etc. Since no costume was complete without accessories, a full line of hats, fan, parasols, muffs, gloves, handkerchiefs, jewelry, shoes and hair styles is shown as well. A selection of children’s attire is also included. An introduction by Stella Blum covers the history of Harper’s Bazar and examines the various phases fashion went through between 1867 and 1898.” With illustrations a thousand strong and superbly executed, this book will make an essential contribution to the reference library of costumers, designers, writers of period fiction, property directors and other theatre personnel, as well as curators and collectors of Victorian era women’s and girls’ clothing and accessories.Oversize 9.4“ x 12“ softback in very good condition. 294 pages.FREE media mail shipping and handling for deliveries within the 50 United States.
