Of works of reference on Costume, published in England, their number is legion, but all, without exception, treat the subject from its picturesque aspect only, and even then do not extend their information beyond a certain point. The periods usually covered present the familiar aspects which are, at the present date, but of historical interest. The modern epoch, dating from the period when most of these works terminate, and to which I have endeavoured to devote special attention, surely presents facts and data of interest which will grow in importance as this century advances, and for that reason, I hope, I can claim to have exploited entirely new ground. Moreover, the feminine aspect presents, to my mind, an additional charm, and is sufficiently interesting to justify its being treated as a subject per se, whilst the historical summary of the surroundings and influences which have had so great a bearing on the evolution of Fashion must, presumably, be of equal importance.In illustrating my work with contemporary plates, in spite of the temptation to execute the drawings myself, I was actuated by the idea of giving the accurate local colour and characteristics which only prints of the period can convey, and which also undoubtedly give, not only authority, but pictorial value to the text.I am indebted to the Queen newspaper for the right to reproduce some of their more recent fashion plates, to many Government officials in London and Paris who have courteously given me access to documents of invaluable assistance, to Mr. Theodore Lumley and Mr. Walter Lumley for placing at my disposal their collection of books and prints of old London, and to Mr. Charles Jerningham (“Marmaduke”) for some interesting information concerning London Society in the ‘seventies.J.
