What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce
A fascinating work on the history of Hungarian peasant clothing, in the original Hungarian.
Complete in two volumes. One volume contains the text and in-text illustrations, and the second volume contains ninety-six beautifully illustrated plates in colour.
Plate volume is disbound as issued.
Collated and complete.
Including chapters on different types of peasant clothing through Hungary's history, different textiles and materials (including linen, outerwear, canvas, hair styles, footwear, factory materials, and more) and the effect of social, economic, and cultural changes to peasant clothing.
Written by Maria Kresz, a noted Hungarian ethnographer and historian. Her main areas of study included folk ceramics, folk costumes, folk art, and textiles. Kresz received the Gold Degree of Labor Order Merit in 1981 and the Memorial Medal of Istvan Gyoffry of the Hungarian Ethnographic Society in 1985 for her contributions to these fields of academia.
A scarce to find work.
Condition
In the original quarter cloth binding with pictorial paper covered boards. Externally, very smart, with just some light bumping to the head and tail of the spines and extremities. A few small marks to the boards. Plate volume is disbound as issued. Internally, firmly bound. The odd spot to the pages and plates, which are otherwise bright and clean.
Very Good Indeed
