I am not going to upload all the images from this wonderful book, nor should I. The images here will only be for specific reasons, mostly for looking at one aspect in detail. I really suggest purchasing the book if you want a visual treat, and good costume history. This is a must have book for anyone interested in Florence/Italian garments of this time frame.
