Music And The Art Of Dress (1852)

Music And The Art Of Dress is a book written by Elizabeth Rigby Eastlake in 1852. The book explores the connection between music and fashion during the 19th century. Eastlake argues that music and dress are both forms of artistic expression that reflect the cultural values and social norms of a particular time period. She examines the ways in which music and dress influence each other, and how they are used to convey messages about identity, class, and gender. The book is divided into three sections: the first section explores the relationship between music and dress in ancient times, the second section focuses on the 18th century and the emergence of the concert dress, and the third section examines the current state of music and dress in the mid-19th century. Throughout the book, Eastlake provides detailed descriptions of various musical performances and fashionable dress styles, as well as commentary on the social and cultural significance of these art forms. Music And The Art Of Dress is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between music and fashion, and offers valuable insights into the role of art in shaping our understanding of the world around us.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
