The Victorians adored fancy dress parties: what better way to escape the rigidity of social conventions than to spend a festive evening disguised as Cleopatra, a Swiss milkmaid, or Alice in Wonderland?

This 1896 guide to hundreds of glorious costumes reproduces the sixth and final edition of a popular resource, transformed by time into an important historical document and cosplay resource. Alphabetical entries are enhanced by 20 colour and 40 black-and-white illustrations.
