Historic Dress 1607 to 1800 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Historic Dress 1607 to 1800

"Fashion wears out more apparel than the man," and happily for us some relics of by-gone days have been preserved intact and placed in our hands for the preparation of this book - veritable documents of history on the subject of Dress in America, which should teach you "the nice fashion of your country," and help you "to construe things after their fashion."

For these interesting old garments and also for the valuable portraits and family papers most generously entrusted to us for our work I take this opportunity to express, in behalf of Miss Steel and myself, our appreciation and sincere thanks.
