Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This book presents and examines watercolors, woodcuts, and illuminations and the reports on Gaelic dress written in the 16th century. As a result of this extensive process of compilation and analysis, the author specifically identifies the most accurate 16th century illustrations of Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic dress. He also presents damning evidence that the most widespread images (and long considered the most important images) of 16th century Irish men and women are, to a large degree, a fraud perpetrated by a single 16th century propagandist. Includes: 47 illustrations of which 22 are full color.
