Purchase options and add-ons

Knights clad in chain mail populate these pages, alongside crowned heads in royal regalia and common folk in their finest apparel. Scrupulously authentic in every detail, these images offer colorful portraits that span centuries of fashion, from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance.
Raphaël Jacquemin was preeminent among the fashion illustrators and historians of nineteenth-century Europe's golden age of fashion design publications. His 1869 Iconographie Générale et Méthodique du Costume du IV au XIX Siècle drew upon manuscripts, reliefs, and effigies from the Louvre, university libraries, and other archives for the most striking and accurate fashion statements from the fourth through seventeenth centuries. This collection features ninety of Jacquemin's magnificent hand-colored engravings, a gallery of iconic portraits that have served as museum exhibits in their own right. Fashion designers, artists, costumers, and others seeking authenticity of period detail—as well as inspiration for contemporary styles—will find this book a splendid resource.

I like the many many pictures. When I am trying to think up a costume pictures help me more than text does.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect reference when teaching any Shakespeare play
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2015
Perfect reference when teaching any Shakespeare play. This book contains 8.5x11" pages and pages of men, women and children wearing a variety of full color medieval and renaissance clothing styles. Very little text, which is exactly what I was looking for. Gave my students an idea what the characters may have looked like as we read Othello in class. It's OK if the time frame is a little off - I'm not a purist when it comes to which fabrics, threads and dyes were actually distributed along the clothing time continuum. I used this book to put a face to the name of each character in the play. Worked well.

This is a good additional source for medieval and renaissance units, especially since it is in color. A wider variety of costumes would be welcome.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just too much simple
Reviewed in Italy on June 13, 2014
Verified Purchase
A really, really simple introduction to the evolution of medieval fashion.
There are no explanations, just coloured images of doubtful quality, without any reference to the originals.
Good maybe for some 5-years old, but deeply incomplete for anyone else.

1.0 out of 5 stars Schlechte Zeichnungen von einem Kostüm-Unerfahrenem
Reviewed in Germany on August 31, 2008
Verified Purchase
Ich war und bin von diesem Buch sehr enttäuscht.
Die besten Zeichnungen, die es enthält, befinden sich auf der Titelseite (guter Lock-Trick), aber das war es auch schon.
Sobald man das Buch aufschlägt, bekommt man geradezu einen Schock von den schlecht recherchierten und dazu auch noch ungekonnt gezeichneten Bildern darin.
Es wirkt, als hätte der Verlag einem völlig Unerfahrenen (sowohl im Zeichnen von menschlichen Proportionen und Details, als auch im Bereich Gewandung und Kostümgeschichte) den Auftrag erteilt, schnell mal ein Kostümbuch zum Thema Mittelalter und Renaissance zu machen.
Absolut nicht empfehlenswert, man sollte sich als Kunde das Geld sparen und dem Verlag ist zu empfehlen, sich die Kosten für den Druck etc. zu sparen.
