Overview

Excerpt from Costume in England: A History of Dress Ancient authorities and ancient delineations are solely confided in, and in all instances the authorities fully quoted. As far as possible, facsimiles of the original delineations are given, though sometimes glaring errors of drawing may be corrected; but this as little as neces sary: and no change of position has been attempted, by which the general effect of the costume, and its form, might be mis represented. All the drawings have been made upon the wood for the engraver by myself, and executed under my own su perintendence, and a great number consists of specimens now for the first time engraved; but in all instances each illustration has been copied when practicable from the original, whether engraved before or not.
