Review title: Utterly useless
Product review: A "fashion history" compendium with no dates, no sources, no captions, and no index? The plates are not even in chronological order; I can't understand how anyone could publish this and think it might be useful. This is a complete waste of time and money for the serious costumer or student of fashion history. Moreover, I can easily identify almost all of the plates from various Dover publications; nothing rare or hard-to-find here.If you want a collection of Victorian graphics, look at Carol Belanger Grafton's books - higher quality images and easier to use. If you are interested in learning about nineteenth-century fashion, look for Dover publications, Norah Waugh, Janet Arnold, compilations of period photographs ... anywhere but this book.
