ISBN: 1-873132-32-8 • 2000 • $65 • Paper

Textiles and costumes often only reveal their full meaning and value through a detailed study of the objects themselves in their context. This interdisciplinary volume brings together papers by leading authorities in textile and costume studies, including historians, curators and conservators discussing a wide range of textiles and costume from tapestries to embroideries, archaeological to ethnographic textiles and exotic costumes at the Danish Court as well as European dress in Japan. This well-illustrated book will be of interest to all those with an interest in understanding, preserving and presenting textiles in the widest sense.
