Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Turks, Illustrated in Sixty Coloured Engravings, with Descriptions

London: John Murray, 1814. Hardbound. Very good, tight interior, but back cover and last page are detached (together), head of spine is coming loose, and there are ex-lib. marks: stamp on page bottoms, pocket in back, bookplates inside front cover and on flyleaf. Red quarter-leather binding with gild lettering and decoration on spine; gilt top edge; unpaginated with approx. 140 pp. and 60 color plates. Beautiful color engravings of dress during the Ottman Empire, with full descriptions of each plate and commentary on the lifestyle of a person wearing each example shown; perfect for the historian, collector of Ottoman memorabilia, or the researcher of textiles and cultural studies.
