Second voyage dans l'interieur de l'Afrique, par le cap de Bonne-esperance, dans les annees 1783, 84 et 85. Tome Premier

Collection History

Many 19th century plate books on customs and costume came to NYPL from the founding Lenox and Astor library holdings, as well as the personal library of benefactor Samuel J. Tilden. Many of the titles chosen for digitization show dress in the context of ethnicity or nationality. Related dress materials, such as accessories and body ornamentation, are also included.
