Costume Through the Ages: Over 1400 Illustrations (Dover Fashion and Costumes), by Erhard Klepper

Few books of costume design will prove more useful to artists, students, stage designers, and scholars than this volume. Presenting detailed drawings in a continuous chronological format, it provides a history of costume design through the ages, from the first century A.D. to 1930.Culled from sculpture, lithographs, paintings, illuminated manuscripts, engravings, caricatures, fashion plates, photographs, and magazines, these illustrations have been carefully redrawn to bring out essential lines as well as all the details. Men, women, and children are shown in authentic dress, in characteristic period postures, and coiffed in contemporary hairstyles — even their gestures and bearing offer the reader insight into the attitudes and manners of their times. Due to the acceleration of change in styles, the book moves from single pages representing entire centuries to one-page-per-year depictions of fashion development. In all, more than 1,400 illustrations chronicle the full sweep of two millennia of Western garb, from Roman noble to Victorian dandy, from Elizabethan lady to Jazz Age schoolboy — all in easily accessible form.Painstakingly researched and meticulously detailed, this book will be a valuable asset and resource for students, illustrators, costume and cultural historians — anyone interested in the history of fashion.

While the pictures are 2D sketches of actual paintings, sculptures, fashion plates, etc. and are not the best quality, I love this book for a quick reference. If I'm costume designing from a certain time period, I love using this book to glance through for ideas saying, I like those sleeves, or I'll use that cuff. If you're looking for a in depth look at fashion and details and lots of commentary, it's not the book for you. But if you're looking for a great priced reference of fashion through the ages, then it's perfect. I've had many professors for my costume design classes, historical fashion classes, etc who have required this as a text book.

Excellent I am so satisfied

They say up front that they (the authors) purposely did not put in any writing to as not to sway our view of the clothing. Alas, that means if one does not know period clothing from LOTS of different periods, one will not be able to identify items. Still, lovely drawings. It will make a fine adult coloring book! (Yes, I'm serious) :-)

I own a vintage clothing and costume rental shop. We have created tabs on some of the different era's shown in this book and now it's a perfect reference book for when a customer comes in and needs to dress for a 1903 car show, or a Titanic themed myster dinner party, etc. The drawings were nicely detailed and are even inspiring me to make my own pieces. We didn't need descriptions, just pictures and dates, and that's what you have here. The one draw back was throughout the entire book only fashion from the higher class is depicted. No peasants, middle class or lower status depictions at all. As a costume shop, those would have been helpful to have as well. I still thought this book was well worth the price!

Lovely detailed diagrams, lots of illustrations packed into a slender volume, a great aid for costumes for period plays, historical stories and just for creating new designs using a little bit of 'something old'.

FOUND IT VERY AWKWARD TO FLIP BACK AND FORTH FROM IMAGES TO DESCRIPTIONS LISTED IN BACK OF BOOK. THAT PLUS ALTHOUGH 'VERB AGE' IN BACK NEEDS APPARENTLY BE BRIEF - IT IS WAAAY TO BRIEF UNLESS FAMILIAR WITH THE VARIOUS PERIOD

none

Terrible illustrations. 2nd rate publ.ication. Wasn't what I thought it would be.
