About this product

Product Information

Originally published in France between 1876 and 1888, Auguste Racinet's Le Costume Historique was in its day the most wide-ranging and incisive study of clothing ever attempted. Covering the world history of costume, dress, and style from antiquity through to the end of the 19th century, the six volume work remains completely unique in its scope and detail. This TASCHEN reprint presents Racinet's exquisitely precise color illustrations, as well as his delightful descriptions and often witty commentary. Spanning everything from ancient Etruscan attire to French women's couture, material is arranged according to Racinet's original plan by culture and subject. As expansive in its reach as it is passionate in its research and attention to detail, Racinet's Costume History is an invaluable reference for students, designers, artists, illustrators, and historians; and a rich source of inspiration for anyone with an interest in clothing and style.

    Beautiful book but itty bitty!

    The book came shipped in a box, wrapped in cellophane brand new. It is a beautifully done book with interesting content. Unfortunately, I thought the book was going to be much larger, a thick coffee table size book not this small 7”x8” size. My fault for not doing more research or asking about details. I have seen the larger size book previously and never considered it may come in a reduced size.
