Knitting woman from Isfahan, Iran 1850.

Isfahan (Persian: اصفهان) is a city in Iran. The metropolitan area is one of the major centres of industry and education in Iran.

The city was the capital of the Persian Empire under the Safavid dynasty between the 16th and 18th centuries. The city is well irrigated and its greenery offers a particular contrast with the desert expanses that surround it. The work undertaken under Shah Abbas to make Isfahan a showcase for highly refined Sefavid architecture and art, as well as the many Islamic monuments built between the 11th and 19th centuries, have turned the city into one of the gems of the Middle East.

Auguste Racinet. The Costume History by Françoise Tétart-Vittu.

Racinet's Costume History is an invaluable reference for students, designers, artists, illustrators, and historians; and a rich source of inspiration for anyone with an interest in clothing and style. Originally published in France between 1876 and 1888, Auguste Racinet’s Le Costume historique was in its day the most wide-ranging and incisive study of clothing ever attempted.

Covering the world history of costume, dress, and style from antiquity through to the end of the 19th century, the six volume work remains completely unique in its scope and detail. “Some books just scream out to be bought; this is one of them.” ― Vogue.com
