He drew very pretty pictures...that's about all I can say about Racinet. :) For me, if I can't see what the original subject looked like, or track down a reference for the drawing, then it's useless as far as accuracy goes.
Talia -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sylvia Rognstad Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 9:57 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] Racinet I'm teaching a class on costume and fashion this fall and would like to use Racinet's illustrations to supplement the history section. Considering his book was written in the 1800s, what do you experts think of it in terms of accuracy?
