Health, Art and Reason: Dress Reformers of the 19th Century

Front Cover
J. Murray, 1974 - Health & Fitness - 192 pages
"Artistic, hygienic, and rational are not the most familiar words today but a hundred and twenty years ago they evoked the highest sentiments and became powerful weapons in an attack which developed not merely on the dress of the time but on the concept of fashion itself. It is the story of this movement, its members and the clothes they wore that the author tells."--Book jacket.
