Stella Mary Newton
Fashion in the Age of the Black Prince First Edition Signed
<p>First print. Book has minor rubbing to the corners. Price-clipped DJ has very slight creasing to the edges and a few light scratches on the jacket film at the front and back which looks like a production fault. Signed and inscribed by Newton on the front endpaper.<br /><br /><strong>1340 to 1363 were years remarkable for dramatic developments in fashion and for extravagant spending on costume foreshadowing the later luxury of Richard II's court. Stella Mary Newton broke new ground with this detailed study of a short period in the history of fashion with the exception of recent books on the 1920s and 1930s ; there is certainly no other single book which discusses fourteenth-century costume in comparable depth. </strong></p> Boydell Press hardcover
