The Wilcox book along with Yarwood and one or two others of the 50's/60's were
the very images that sent me to the research point of re-discovering the wealth
of period detail in paintings and portraits...sort of like getting kicked off
the diving board.It was kind of fun taking their drawings and searching for the
original pieces they were interpreting.

Subject: Re: [h-cost] Opinions on this bookI bought it a long time ago-- back
in the late 70s/ 80s when there was very
little published about costume/clothing. I have used it to check definitions
a few times.
I would not throw it-- sell it on eBay.

I saw a copy once, and didn't buy it, no regrets. I didn't like it.
