A Contemporary Interpretation of Arms, Accoutrements and Provisions of the Mid 18th Century Southern Frontier Premier Showing • Contemporary Longrifle Association Annual Show, August 15 & 16, 2014 Created by a group of artisans over a period of two years, The Southern Traveler is a collection of "artifacts" representing the personal possessions carried by a Southern frontiersman in the early to mid 18th century. The identity of this frontiersman has been lost to the ages - but perhaps part of his story may be told by the remarkable objects left behind when the traveler's journey had come to an end. In the traveler's time, the history of the deep South had included almost 200 years of European and Native American encounters. The players in this drama included Spanish, French and English explorers, along with numerous native tribes including the Creek, the Choctaw, the Cherokee and Chickasaw. Together these nations and cultures established a tremendous trade network, reaching for the Atlantic coast to west of the Mississippi, and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Eastern Woodlands. The pieces that comprise this unique collection reflect the rich cultural diversity of the early Southern Frontier. A few of the items are near reproductions based on existing original work; but many of the pieces in the collection would perhaps be best compared to "previously unknown" artifacts -new creations that draw equally from the wells of tradition and imagination.

"The book is an invaluable guide to all things fashion." — Collectors' CornerSpanning nearly 5,000 years of clothing styles, this splendid sourcebook presents a fascinating panorama of wearing apparel, beginning with the ancient Egyptians and continuing through the early decades of the twentieth century.Over 1,800 drawings — meticulously researched and accurately rendered by the author — depict garments ranging from diaphanous gowns of Egyptian royalty, ornate robes of Byzantine dignitaries, and elegant dresses worn by eighteenth-century Parisians, to picturesque outfits of American frontiersmen and the revolutionary 1930s wardrobe of the American flapper.Here also are informal portraits of Byzantine commoners and religious figures, Elizabethans in lace collars and ruffs, upper-class Venetians, English dandies, and French gentlemen of the mid-eighteenth century as well as detailed illustrations of nineteenth-century New York farmers, western fur trappers, cowboys, mountain men, and lumberjacks, Klondike prospectors, Mississippi rivermen, and many more. A brief historical survey precedes the chronologically grouped illustrations of each period, and an overall list supplies the source for each drawing. A comprehensive reference for artists, designers, and social historians, this invaluable treasury will also intrigue anyone interested in the evolution of wearing apparel. costume history;historic costumes;pattern drafting;theatrical costumes;historical costumes;historical clothing;historical fashion;fashion history;hair styles;costume designer;vintage clothing;decorative patterns;period patterns;costume pieces;assembly instructions;pattern pieces;garment construction;es un;fashion plates;sewing experience;period clothes;historical patterns;costume design;period costumes;primary resources;period clothing;fashion dictates;spiral binding;invaluable resource;19th century;ancient greek;ancient egypt;historical accuracy;nineteenth century;time periods;taschen;ayuda;1950;trims;costumers;draping;closures;cross-reference;costuming;sizing;undergarments;reenactors;hairstyles;wigs;corsets;garments;sleeves;accessories;illustrators;outfits;fashions;underwear;eras;designs;worn;shapes;4th;america;books on fashion histories;books on costume designers;books on decorative patterns;books on historical costumes;books on historical fashions;books on costume designs;books on period costumes;books on costume histories;books on costume pieces;books on 19th centuries;books on theatrical costumes;books on historical patterns;books on assembly instructions;books on hair styles;books on pattern pieces;books on period patterns;books on period clothings;books on garment constructions;books on primary resources;books on spiral bindings;books on vintage clothings;books on fashion plates;books on historical clothings;books on historic costumes;books on period clothes
