[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “Imperial Wardrobe”

By Gary Dickinson & Linda Wrigglesworth.
Published in Berkeley by the Ten Speed Press in 2000. Revised edition.

DISCUSSION: "In Qing dynasty China (1644-1911) clothes not only made the
man, they made the empire. Coming from the Manchurian region, the ruling
minority sought to infuse China with their Manchu culture and, in 1759,
the Qianlong Emperor of China commissioned a catalog of illustrated
regulations for ceremonial garments and accessories worn by the members of
the imperial household. Referencing that catalog, and illustrated
throughout with 178 archival photographs, drawings, portraits, and modern
photos of Qing garments and adornments held in public and private
collections, this album is a detailed reference to the official dress of
Qing dynasty China".

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 9.5"x12", 204 pages, filled with color
photographs, dust jacket.

CONDITION NOTES: In fine, clean condition.

PRICE: $65-
