20,000 years of fashion: the history of costume and
personal adornment
by Francois Boucher

This volume is a definitive study: each epoch and region discussed is
clearly held in focus in the various sections into which the book is
divided - prehistory, the ancient civilizations of the Near East,
Egypt, Crete, Greece, and Rome, and finally the Western nations as we
know them today. The nearly 1200 illustrations make this
survey a picture album tracing the human effort to alter or improve
appearance, to make the self a work of art, and to adapt to the
necessities of climate and daily life.
