Costume: fanciful, historical, and theatrical
Costume: Fanciful, Historical, and Theatrical is a 1906 costume history by Mrs. Aria (Eliza Davis, 1866-1931), published in London and New York by Macmillan, aimed at designers and theatre makers. Its pictures are pale brown-toned line drawings of single figures in period dress, with loose wash shading, showing silhouettes, collars, hats and capes that a designer could adapt for historical or stage costume.
