Summary: A spotlight on fashion in mid victorian times
Comment: This book is an exhibition catalogue from the metropolitan museum of art. It covers Victorian women's dress from the years 1837 to 1877 when Queen Victoria gradually changed from being simply Queen of England to Empress of a vast empire.

The book is richly illustrated with colour photos of Queen Victoria's clothes (or other period costume examples of the right date) starting with a dress worn by Victoria for her state entry into Paris in 1855. We are also shown examples of wonderful English silk paisley style shawls and formal court dress.

The text accompanying the pictures gives a vivid narrative of the changing styles in the 40 years of fashion this book covers. "From Queen to Empress" is a worth addition to any collection of books on costume or if you are wanting to know more about the fashions of the mid Victorian era.
