Omschrijving
A fascinating read.
A fascinating read.
The book succeeds in challenging the traditional associations of the smock by assessing it in the broader social and economic contexts of different periods and geographical areas, illustrating how a mundane, practical, everyday item can enhance our understanding of the wider social history of clothing and consumption.
