The glamour of the first half of the twentieth century is well represented in this generous sampling of the Kent State University Museum costume collections. Reflecting the aesthetic, social, political, and economic influences on design between 1900 and 1949, these exquisite examples of period dress represent not only a new century, but a new world as well. Through this expertly drawn reproductions and accompanying curatorial narrative, costumers, collectors, curators, historians, and teachers and students of design can have at their fingertips what is undoubtedly the "best of show." By Norma Lu Meehan and Jean L. Druesedow. 27 pages.
