Four books make up the rather elegant digital Costume History Collection at the Western Michigan University Library, and to pore through their pages is to experience the world of 18th and 19th century fashion. The books include designs from a Parisian women's magazine, color drawings of clothing of people of Persia, and a series of pattern diagrams. The Persian items are taken from the rather intriguing 1843 work, "A Residence of Eight Years in Persia, Among the Nestorian Christians: with Notices of the Muhammedans." The other three books offered here in their entirety include "L'Art de la Lingere" and "Parisian Fashion, 1827-1832". This last volume is also supplemented by a glossary and annotated bibliography. Moving on, the site also includes a section on the digitization particulars of this project.
