Victorian and Edwardian Fashion A

Noted photo-historian documents bonnets, capes, caps, shawls, bodices, and crinolines as people actually wore them from 1840 to 1914. 235 early photos show aristocrats and the middle class as well as Oscar Wilde, Lily Langtry, G. B. Shaw, Queen Victoria, more. A commentary and annotations to the photos describe and identify the costumes.

A former commercial photographer, Helmut Gernsheim (1913-95) ranks among the most influential and prolific historians of photography. He virtually created the academic study of photography in the 1940s, carrying out extensive research and amassing a priceless collection of historical prints. His books remain authoritative resources on the development of photography.
