Fran Lavolta Press New book on 1820s clothing! http://www.lavoltapress.com _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Does anyone have a burning desire to buy a copy of _Sous l’empire des
crinolines_, a catalog for an exhibit in the Musée Galliera? I
accidentally bought two copies from France. Fashions of the time of
French Second Empire/mostly 1860s. It’s about 6 3/4” by 9 3/4”, 211
pages, clay-coated paper, fancy book design, text captions all in
French, no English. The book consists mostly of lavish color
photos—surviving women’s garments (including close-ups), jewelry,
accessories, period paintings, period photos. Price is $84 including
insured shipping by US Media Mail. If you think that is unreasonable,
check out the prices on www.addall.com/used (which also lists many new
books, like this one), and consider I paid for shipping from France—I’m
charging what I paid. Also, this book is not carried by US booksellers
as far as I know.
