Re: [h-cost] dress in Stuart England
Sorry i post again, can it really be, that noone on the list knows anything about this book? Fashion and Fiction: Dress in Art and Literature in Stuart England (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art) (Hardcover) by Aileen Ribeiro Has it manny pictures, or is it more of a text book? Bjarne It's got great pictures, and lots of detail. The text is also very good. I use my copy all the time.

As it is by Aileen Ribiero, it is more likely to be a text type book, and only contain photos of paintings we already know. She was writing it when she gave a lecture I went to, and it was about costume in paintings and plays, books etc., but to be honest I don't remember much about it. I think I picked it up in a book shop one time and decided it wasn't a book I wanted to spend that much money on. But that is a very personal opinion, and I am happy to be corrected.

Hi Bjarne-- Sorry for the dalay in posting. I am trying to decorate for Chrisstmas. I have this book. I would recomend it for the pictures alone-- lots of gorgeous color plates, with details. If you are able to get it for a good price, I would buy it. I bought it for full price, but it was worth it!

Bjarne: I have this book and it does have many color illustrations in it as well as text. It covers fashion as influenced by Stuart art and literature from c1600 to 1714, although it shows few fashions past 1700. There is an excellent section on masque costumes, most of the pictures date from 1603-1635. Naturally, the Interregnum(1649-1660) gets little coverage. Hope this helps!

RE: [h-cost] dress in Stuart England
It does have some good pictures and a lot of text I can't say whether they're pics you'd be familiar with because I don't know what else you've got. I like it and would say get it if you can get a decent price - but I like Aileen Ribeiro'sstuff in general anyway.
