Title of the 2nd installment mounted on modern half cloth folder. - "For the ethnologist, the archaeologist and the artist, the study of the various folk costumes of peoples is not only of great interest, but also of scientific and artistic value. From the peculiar folk costumes, conclusions can be drawn about their related ancestry, about the intercourse between them. They provide the painter's brush with material for charming pictures. No people on earth can boast of having such beautiful costumes, with such an excellent combination of shapes and colors, as the South Slavs. They owe them partly to their direct contact with the Ottomans and partly to their own national genius, two elements that have created a very happy combination between the opulent luxury of the Orientals and the Christian seriousness of those rugged Slavic mountain dwellers."
