Review: History of Costume The “History of Costume”or “Zur Geschichte der Kostume”was printed from 1861 to 1880 in Munich by the publishing firm of Braun and Schneider It was originally published as individual plates in a German magazine titled “Munchener Bilderbogen.” Later, these plates were collected and bound into book form The total publication consisted of 125 pages, with four color illustrations per page, for a total of 500 costume designs These plates show historical dress from antiquity to the end of the 19th century This book is an excellent source for students who are studying the history of fashion, and for costume designers One must be aware though, that these illustrations have a Victorian perspective to their designs The last 35 pages show contemporary folk dress (c.1880) from most European, Asian, and African countries These provide a source for researching plays that take place during the Victorian period, such as “The King and I” or “The Sea Gull.” The original book was published in German, so at times, the English translation is confusing This is especially noticeable in the contemporary folk dress plates where many of the countries mentioned now have different names or no longer exist If you wish to obtain additional information on the original book, Denver Publications has an 54 | P a g e excellent reproduction of the printing entitled “Historic Costume in Pictures” by Braun and Schneider 173 According to the review, how was the 175 What does the review state is a problem “History of Costume” first published?
