    Description

    This is a large hardbound book with 1079 Illustrations. It is 11 3/8 x 9" and an inch thick. i would have to count the pages because of the way they're labeled. alot of pages. Fantastic collection to show the history of Traditional clothing of India many years back to modern times. published in Bombay India in 1958. It's really wonderful for anyone who wants to learn more. You can really see the Gypsies of Europe in their clothes and faces. They had forgotten where they came from and spent 200 years in Europe as traveling Gypsies. Very interesting history. Have you read "And the Violins stopped playing." a great book about being a Gypsy and surviving the Holocaust.
