Ewa Orlinska-Mianowska Book order (chronological)

This album presents the Polish National Museum's collection of costumes, fabrics, decorations, and accessories dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. The Polish fashions depicted in this richly illustrated work show aristocratic and upper class attire, heavily influenced by the Russian tsarist court, with elements from the French periods of the Bourbons, the French Revolution, and Napoleon. The personal adornments demonstrate the upper class’ need to always display a refined sense of fashion and taste.
