In the 1930's, California artist Victor Anderson set out to design a book on historic costume. That book was never finished, and for decades Victor's exquisite sketches sat in a box in the back of a closet. Now, more than 70 years later, Victor's granddaughter has assembled these sketches into an "artist's sketchbook" of historic costume -- a fascinating glimpse of costumes from historic paintings and from costume books of the 1920's. The book focuses primarily on British costume but also touches on several periods of European costume. Ideal for recreationists, SCA members, and writers researching historic costume details.
