A complete copy of the 812 costume plates "beautifully engraved by Duclos, Giffart, de Poilly and Thomassin" (Colas).

Discreet restorations (headpieces), rubbing and minor spotting, many browned pages, small angular tear with loss on p. 37 of vol. 5, many browned pages, occasional small foxing and marginal stains, otherwise a very fine copy in contemporary binding, rare in color.

From volume 6 onwards, the work was continued by Père Bullot. An extraordinary source of information on all the monastic, religious and military orders, many of which have disappeared, and all of which had their own distinctive costumes, a particular history, different practices, and often astonishingly remarkable characters. Discover a world that has partly disappeared, and is little known today. With a thought for the fashion show in Fellini's film Roma.
