The book is securely bound in its original navy blue cloth, featuring bright, unrubbed gilt lettering to the spine and crisp red-and-gilt roundels on both the spine and upper board. The binding remains tight and square, showing only trivial shelf-wear to the extremities and slight bumping to the corners. The text block is pleasingly square and retains its structural integrity; the top edge is slightly dust-toned, while the fore and lower edges remain relatively clean. Internally, the pages are generally bright and supple, though moderate foxing is present, primarily restricted to the preliminary leaves and text block edges. The original dust jacket exhibits some chipping and small nicks to the head of the spine and corners, along with mild age-toning, yet it remains largely complete and highly presentable. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"1073\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This reprint (being the third impression) of Herbert Norris's magisterial study of English medieval costume provides an exhaustive visual and historical record of dress from the Norman Conquest through to the end of the Plantagenet era. This volume stands as a testament to Norris's authoritative scholarship and features sixteen full-page colour plates, eight half-tones, and an astounding 682 pen-and-ink drawings rendered by the author himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThe volume retains its highly informative original dust jacket, a notably scarce survival for early impressions, which advertises the wider, ambitious scope of Norris's extended series. It represents a clean, highly collectible example of an essential reference work for historians, theatrical designers, and students of British antiquities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eSpanning the tumultuous centuries between the Battle of Hastings and the fall of Richard III at Bosworth Field, Herbert Norris’s meticulously detailed survey offers an unparalleled window into medieval English attire. Through hundreds of his own precise illustrations and vivid colour plates, Norris reconstructs the evolution of garments, accessories, and social mores, bringing the sartorial world of the Middle Ages vividly to life. An indispensable resource for both the dedicated historian and the theatrical designer, this volume captures the pageantry and daily reality of a transformative era in European history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55391891816787,"sku":"6185","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261012_144830.jpg?v=1792069850","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/costume-fashion-volume-two-senlac-to-bosworth-1066-1485","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
