5.0 out of 5 stars
Shoes, Hats and Fashion Accessories,
By Alyson E. Barnett (Cottonwood, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shoes, Hats and Fashion Accessories: A Pictorial Archive, 1850-1940 (Paperback)
This book is great. It is just what I was looking for in doing some period research. The illustrations could only be better if they were in color. Anyone interested in fashion accessories of this period will not be disappointed.

This review is from: Shoes, Hats and Fashion Accessories: A Pictorial Archive, 1850-1940 (Paperback)
This book is exactly what it claims to be - a pictorial archive. For descriptions or details, Dover has a wide selection of books that will be of immense help with materials, construction, and history. For those who already have a working knowledge of the century in fashion, this book is a candy store of visual tidbits.Just a note: very few fashion illustrations of the nineteenth century were colored; hand-coloring was a labor-intensive process reserved for high-end publications with limited runs. Check my Listmania list for some books with color illustrations.

What about descriptions?,
This review is from: Shoes, Hats and Fashion Accessories: A Pictorial Archive, 1850-1940 (Paperback)
This book has lovely pictures, although the author admits she has taken the liberty to decide which should be included for each year. It would be an even better book if the articles were named, better yet a small description, sometimes I wondered if a shoe were a man or woman's. I think the book is good but stops short of being great but it is interesting and I would like to a sequel with the other drawings that were left out of this edition.
