Description
Accompanied by a scrupulously researched and well-documented text, over 400 royalty-free illustrations trace the evolution of clothing styles, armor, and weapons during the medieval period in Central Europe -- from simple tunics and robes of peasants to the battle equipment and armor of warriors and the fur-lined cloaks and brocaded garments of the aristocracy.
User reviews
LibraryThing member antiquary
Really custome etc. "of the Hussite period" -- though it has other countries, the focus is on Bohemia (modern Czech republic) c. 1400. Very valuable for its time and place. Chiefly consists of detailed drawings often in color.
