Knowing what people wore and why can give us a fascinating insight into a nation's ideas, traditions, and beliefs. Geography, war, religion, and social attitudes all have an effect on clothing and ornamentation. Cultures and Costumes: Symbols of Their Period is a beautifully illustrated 13-volume series that explores this relationship--across continents and cultures and throughout human history.
