Book of GAOP illustrated clothing


Jib

Recommended Posts

Question for all: I’m looking for a few good books that show the fashion of the GAOP preferably with illustrations. Ultimately I would like examples of clothing worn not only in England and on the continent but also in the colonies, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. I know it’s a tall order…

Suggestions?

Wow. There is a period or near-period book that does just that, although it's been picked apart by the critics here as not doing a good job of representing the other countries clothing, rather showing it as the author saw it.

Trouble is, I don't know the name of it and I don't have it because it's not related to the topic of my interest. I'm almost certain it's been discussed in one of the older threads the Sewing Room subforum.

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Might be the two volume set I have at home, but dangitt my memory fails me for the title. They were published in the early 20th century, ca. 1910-20. I will try to get back with you on the title, and I have the two volume set in paperback with a cardboard sleeve I got cheap at a local flea market. Might be willing to trade as I never use them anymore.

I had another two volume set on costume for early historical periods that I gifted to one of my college instructors also, but cannot remember the title of those either, but they are out there.

No I haven't had an exchange with Kass in years. I don't see her on these forums much anymore. I imagine she must be busy or involved in other things not related to pirates.

I bet she does have a wonderful library of images!
