    Description

    Illustrated, Original Binding, Scarce

    A fascinating and comprehensive historical account of coiffures, including technical descriptions and biographical details. 

    Replete with numerous in-text illustrations of these hairstyles as they appeared through the ages and as they appeared in different venues (for example, one illustration and description shows the coiffure 'Rosalind', as it appeared in William Shakespeare's play, As You Like It). 

    These illustrations and descriptions originally appeared in 'The Hairdressers' Chronicle' series under the editorship of Alfred M. Sutton. 

    A scarce work.

    Condition

    In the original cloth binding. Externally, some shelf wear to the boards and bumping to the head and tail of the spine and extremities. Some light staining to the front board, and significant soiling to the rear board. Internally, firmly bound. Light soiling to the last few pages, otherwise pages are generally bright and clean.
