world4
Almost all articles are based on books published in the 19th century to the first third of the 20th century on a specific topic. The focus is on cultural history, especially fashion and costume (title, author, publisher and publication date can always be found at the end of the article, if available).
World4 documents in pictures and text, by means of partly rare bibliography, how fashion and culture were received in the 19th and early 20th century.
The costume illustrations made in the 19th century and depicting the Middle Ages do not always correspond to the clothing actually worn at that time, but are often due to the idealised ideas of the time. Here we try to find sources that are as authentic as possible for the respective epoch.
