The elusive "Extra Volume" to Von Boehn's classic 4 volume set on Modes and Manners. Very scholarly treatment of the subject using examples from paintings and prints, as well as fashion plates from magazines and journals. This volume is one of the most interesting in the series in that von Boehn examines objects usually left out of other surveys.
