The Victorians adored fancy-dress parties: what better way to escape the rigidity of social conventions than to spend a festive evening disguised as Cleopatra, a Swiss milkmaid, or Alice in Wonderland? Well-to-do party-goers of the era consulted Fancy Dresses Described, an elaborate guide to hundreds of glorious costumes. The book was so popular that it was updated several times; this is the sixth and final edition, originally published in 1896. Time has transformed it into an important historical document as well as an abundant cosplay resource. Twenty color and 40 black-and-white illustrations enhance the alphabetical entries, which are mostly for women's costumes but include a section on children's dress. Costumes range from the peasant garb of Austria, Italy, and Ireland to the finery of the six wives of Henry VIII, Marie Antoinette, and other members of French and English royalty. Additional entries spotlight characters from Shakespeare and Dickens; traditional apparel of Egypt and ancient Greece and Rome; Cinderella, Maid Marian, and other folkloric figures; as well as outfits suggested by astronomy, the seasons, the animal kingdom, and other thematic subjects.

Excerpt from The Omnibus: A Farce in One Act; Also the Stage Business, Casts of Characters, Costumes, Relative Positions, EtcThe original cast of this trifle was what might have been call ed, in theatrical parlance, a strong one - comprising the names of W. Blanchard as Ledger, Bartley as Mr. Dobbs, Little Keeley as his-hopeful, free-and-easy son and heir, Tom Dobbs, and the gifted Power as Pat Rooney - and it required all this latter talented artist's powers to make the blundering, good-natured, mischief-making, impertinent domestic, the feature of the farce.In this country there have been, and are several delineators of Irish character, who occasionally figure as Pat Rooney. Among the best, we must class John Brougham and Barney Williams the one, an established and well-deserved favorite: the other, a talented, industrious, popular, and fast-rising actor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
