Costume in England - a History of Dress from the Earliest Period Until the Close of the Eighteenth Century

Originally published in 1860. A well illustrated guide. Contents include: Early Britons - Romans in Britain - Anglo Saxons and Danes - Normans - Plantagenets - York and Lancaster - Tudors - Stuarts - etc. Includes large illustrated Glossary of terms. Many of the earliest history books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
