Reader's note

Learn something new about history with this 1931 edition of English Costume Painted & Described by Dion Clayton Calthrop. 'The world, if we choose to see it so, is a complicated picture of people dressing and undressing. The history of the world is composed of the chart of a little band of tailors seated cross-legged on their boards; they gossip across the centuries, feeling, as they should, very busy and important. Someone made the coat of many colours for Joseph, another cut into material for Elijah's mantle. Baldwin, from his stall on the site of the great battle, had only or stretched his neck round to nod to the tailor who made the toga for Julius Caesar; has only to lean forward to smile to Pasquino, the wittiest of tailors.'
