Ancient Egyptian Mesopotamian & Persian Costume (and Decoration) Vol 1 by Mary G. Houston

This is the first volume of Miss Houston’s Technical History of Costume. The illustrations are drawn in facsimile from the drawings of artists of that period, where the drawing is too primitive to be understood easily, a garment is also shown in modern style.

In addition, there are flat patterns showing the cut and Chapters on Ornament. This volume is of importance to dress designers, theatrical designers and all students in the history of costume.
