About This Item

Scholar Book Publishers, 1980. Book. Fine Condition. Cloth. 324 pages. Folio sized hardcover bound in cream colored cloth and wrapped in an illustrated paper dustjacket. Not dated in English, but possibly published c. 1980. Texts in Chinese, with a single paged English summary separately laid in. The binding is tight and crisp, with no interior markings. The dustjacket (now protected by a Mylar cover) is in equally fine condition with no tears or losses. Lavishly illustrated with large, full color drawings, photographs, and paintings, as well as a number of smaller black and white images that help even the non-Chinese reader to grasp the changes in style and ornament throughout the history of perhaps the oldest civilization of the world. The reader of Chinese will benefit from the great amount of text which presumably offers a scholarly context for the images (The English summary counted nine chapters, 160,000 words, and 834 illustrations, including 346 color photographs). Beginning with what looks to be a deer pelt, adorned with a necklace of shells, this history of fashion concludes with the modern stylings of the twentieth century woman in slacks and knee-length dresses..
