CLOTHES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD

From the earliest times, people have worn clothes, not just for warmth, but to show their status or role in a group. Some wore special clothes for religious purposes, other dressed simply to look good and attract a partner.

CLOTHES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD looks at how fashions developed with the rise and fall of the early civilizations. Stunning, detailed artwork on every page recreates the clothes worn by men, women and children in ancient times.

Mailed today - enjoy!

Your huge box of books made it here today, totally undoing the lowering of my TBR pile that I had done over the last two months ;P

I'm looking forwards to exploring these books as there are some fantastic looking ones in the bunch.

I enjoyed this look into ancient cultures and the clothing that they wore. The book had a nice variety of cultures shown so as a reader I didn't feel like the book was stuck in one or two cultures. Plus the balance made between military clothing and everyday and cerimonial clothing was really nice.

Including this in a Raback of the following three titles:

Clothes of the Ancient World: Prehistory - 500 AD
Clothes of the Medieval World: c. 500 - 1500 AD
Clothes of the Early Modern World: c. 1500 - 1800 AD

So that the recipient can see how the Medieval clothing evolved from the early clothing types.

Received this book in the mail today, along with the two others. What a wonderful surprise! Thank you SO much for your help. Now I can research the clothing styles and how they evolved. I will pass the books on when I am finished.

Am sending this book to fellow BookCrosser BunRab in a book exchange. Have fun with it!

Received as part of a swap - thanks! I'm going to enjoy perusing the set.
