Product description

This is the first publication on the Polish publishing market presenting the history of selected sports disciplines and clothing intended for various physical activities and forms of entertainment such as: horse riding and hunting, golf, tennis, archery, fencing, cricket, playing in the snow, ice skating, beach recreation, bicycle and automobile trips, with particular emphasis on phenomena demonstrating the change of social customs and mentality. It consists of extensive articles, written by experts on the subject, provided with footnotes and richly illustrated. The authors are enthusiasts and specialists in the field of archaeology, history of art and fashion, and material culture. We can read here about the costumes of old skaters, about fashion shows on the court, about beach and bathing fashion, about what cyclists and the first car drivers wore. There are many other topics related to tailoring presented in this book, such as information about fabrics, cuts, clothing construction, accessories and decorations. There are also interesting facts about fashion innovations that were considered extravagant at that time and aroused social opposition. And all this can be seen in numerous illustrations – portraits, paintings, engravings and photographs. Everyone will find something fascinating in this book. The rest of the publication includes photos of costumes made by participants of the competition for the reconstruction of recreational clothing from the 17th to the beginning of the 20th century and descriptions of their struggles with the difficult art of historical tailoring. This is a highly recommended and very valuable, richly illustrated publication.
