Ancient Greek Female Costume
September 13, 1883 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "Ancient Greek Female Costume," illustrated by 112 plates and numerous smaller illustrations, with explanatory letterpress by G. Moyr Smith. The root of the modem want of perception of the beautiful is, in a way, moral-not ecclesiastical or devotional, however, but in a larger sense. The production of a beautiful costume is the work of time and selection; and only where it has become hereditary, national, or otherwise continuous from generation to generation, can this process of selection and survival of the fittest go on.
