From Egyptian to modern times (up through the 1970's) the clothes that set the style are described, explained and illustrated in color. Costumes are complete with undergarments, clothing details, history, hair styles, cosmetics, fabrics and colors for both men's and women's garments. The authoritative text by Robert Selbie, who has been involved for many years with theater costume and design, is perfectly combined with splendidly detailed and annotated drawings by Victor Ambrus.
