‎Paris: Libraire de Firmin-didot Cie 1888. FIRST EDITION first printing. Six volume set complete. The title page gives a mere hint of the opulence of the plates in this work. The statement that there are 500 plates of which 300 are chromolithographic color with metallic accents and another 200 plates in two color cameo do not begin to give the reader any indication of the treasure trove of visual information that is about to be encountered. Many of the plates fold out to double size. The vast diversity of different clothing sttyles used throughout history and in all geographical areas of the world are illustrated. From ancient Egypt to Medieval Samurai controlled Japan and from Renaissance France to the harems of the Ottoman Empire this is just the beginning of the long list of styles and cultures that are shown described and catalogued.
