![Eduard Heyck; Max Tilke; Adolf Rosenberg [Translator.], Geschichte Des Kostãâ¼Ms](https://bw19.boekwinkeltjes.net/images/AB_images/r/rookeb_1664318149.0.x.jpg "Click to enlarge")
Geschichte Des Kostãâ¼Ms
Berlin, Bei Ernst Wasmuth , [1905]. First edition. Cloth. A first edition of this uncommon, heavily illustrated work depicting fashions of various continents through the ages. With eighty plates to each volume. A first edition of this heavily illustrated set on the History of Costume. With four hundred lithograph plates across the five volumes, most of which are in colour. Published in German. Each volume of this colourful and fascinating work is comprised of eighty plates by Max Tilke, each accompanied by a page of explanation and description by the German cultural historian Eduard Heyck, collated and complete. With sections on the fashion of ancient China, Egypt, Greece, as well as Europe in the middle ages. The volumes then move chronologically through the centuries until around 1820, until the final volume which discusses European folk costumes, and the fashions of various groups in Asia, Africa, and Northern America. Max Tilke specialised in the history of fashion design, and was himself a fashion designer, illustrator, and ethnographer. As ethnic costumes are increasingly replaced by Westernised clothing, Tilke's work reminds us that the study of historical costume is indispensable to the study of cultural history. Except for volume III, all the volumes are missing the volume number in typescript to the front cover. The volume numbers have been added by a previous owner in pencil to the front board. In the publisher's original quarter cloth binding over hard boards. Externally, generally smart. Lightly rubbed to the boards and the spine. A little bumped to all volumes, more so to volumes I and II, with a closed tear to the head of volume I, and both the head and tail of of volume II. With a little edge wear to a small proportion of the sheets. The ribbon tie has failed to the bottom edge of volumes II and IV. The volume is comprised of loose sheets made of different types of paper and card. As a result, some pages are rather age-toned whilst others remain bright, yet all are generally clean. Good . Ill.: Max Tilke. Good .

Hints on Hats Adapted to the Heads of the People
London, John Camden Hotten, 1865. First edition. Cloth. A very scarce, charming fashion work on hats by the royal hatter, Henry Melton. Presented in a smart condition, this pocket sized work is a fascinating insight to the history of hats, and the nineteenth century fashions. The first edition of this work. 'Her Majesty was one of the first to patronize hats for the Royal Family, and in due course to adopt them herself&apos. Melton provides a brief introduction to the history of hats, before delving into methods of making, the certain materials used, in addition to an array of hat styles. He refers to certain noted individuals such as Charles Dickens, Queen Elizabeth I, George IV and the Count D'Orsay, regarding their preferred style of hats. He also discusses the hats worn by his own patrons, Albert the Prince Consort and Edward VII, Prince of Wales. To pages 75-77 Melton discusses how Sir Edwin Landseer's painting 'Eos' of Prince Albert's favourite greyhound does not display the maker's label to the top hat. A vignette of this painting has been used for the front board design. 'Had but the hat been placed just an inch more horizontally, the crown would have displayed my name as 'Hatter to His Royal Highness' and thus rendered me an incalculable service, without prejudicing the picture in the least degree.' Melton also discusses his own development in style, and European influences of his own handiwork. To the preface Melton writes, 'I am not actuated by motives chiefly associated with my own interest, my greatest desire being to offer a humble tribute of gratitude to my late illustrious patron, His Royal Highness the Prince Consort&apos. Charmingly illustrated with a frontispiece and numerous vignettes of varying hat styles. To the rear there are sixteen leaves of advertisements for companies that are 'specially appointed to supply their Royal Highnesses, The Prince and Princess of Wales and the Court&apos. This work traces Melton's own career, whilst providing a fascinating insight to the fashion of the Victorian elite. Written from the perspective of a well-known Regent Street hatter. Many of Melton's hats have been preserved to this day in museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A truly lovely, very scarce work in a well-preserved condition. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, smart, with just some minor bumping to the extremities and to the head and tail of spine. Fading to the gilt of spine. Rear hinge is strained but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are slightly age toned to edges with just the odd handling mark. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
