This volume is one of the early works of the German cultural and art historian Jacob von Falke (1825-1897). His studies focus on the cultural historical perspective of the clothing and fashion world of ancient times, the Middle Ages, and modern times. The present second part addresses the outward appearance of humans from the Reformation to the French Revolution and provides insights into, among other things, state wigs and Prussian soldiers' braids. A high-quality reprint of the original edition from 1858.
