Excerpt from Illustrations of Monumental BrassesThe knowledge of costume must be allowed to be indispensable to such a power. Te smile at the notion that Julius Caesar has been applauded on the English stage, as he was represented by Booth. Yet the anaclu'onism was hardly more glaring than many which might be pointed out in paintings of scenes in the middle ages, by artists of the highest celebrity. Armour and dresses of every agc of chivalry are mingled together in the same scene, and too frequently, confused with these, are costumes which never had a real existence at all. It is no wonder that our realisation of the past should be so weak, when our ideas of it are so inaccurate.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
