Review: History of Costume

The “History of Costume”or “Zur Geschichte der Kostume”was printed from 1861 to 1880 in Munich by

the publishing firm of Braun and Schneider. It was originally published as individual plates in a German

magazine titled “Munchener Bilderbogen.” Later, these plates were collected and bound into book form.

The total publication consisted of 125 pages, with four color illustrations per page, for a total of 500

costume designs. These plates show historical dress from antiquity to the end of the 19th century.

This book is an excellent source for students who are studying the history of fashion, and for costume

designers. One must be aware though, that these illustrations have a Victorian perspective to their designs.

The last 35 pages show contemporary folk dress (c.1880) from most European, Asian, and African

countries. These provide a source for researching plays that take place during the Victorian period, such as

“The King and I” or “The Sea Gull.” The original book was published in German, so at times, the English

translation is confusing. This is especially noticeable in the contemporary folk dress plates where many of

the countries mentioned now have different names or no longer exist.

If you wish to obtain additional information on the original book, Denver Publications has an excellent

reproduction of the printing entitled “Historic Costume in Pictures” by Braun and Schneider.

173. According to the review, how was the

“History of Costume” first published?

(a) In book form(b) As individual plates in a German magazine(c) As part of a research paper(d) As a series of framed prints.

174. Which of the following is said to be included

in the book?

(a) 19th century photographs

(b) 500 pictures of costumes

(c) Original sewing patterns

(d) Nearly 2,000 pages of text

175. What does the review state is a problem with

the book?

(a) It is poorly translated.(b) It is not historically accurate.(c) Its images are poorly reproduced.(d) It does not include enough countries.

176. According to the reviewer, who might find

the book useful?

(a) World travelers

(b) College students

(c) Fashion designers

(d) Theater researchers

Burnsville, Minnesota 55306

To whom it may concern,

I recently purchased a new Wellcraft 950 Outdoor Propane Burner. I have operated it twice, carefully

following your instructions, and have noticed a problem with the pressure adjustment controls. I have tried

varying the pressure by adjusting both the regulator handle and the valve, as per the instructions contained

in the box. The problem I have found is that the regulator handle seems to get stuck at a certain point when

attempting to lower the pressure, and then suddenly shuts off the flame. This has happened several times.

The handle difficulties indicate to me that I purchased a defective unit. Since this burner is under warranty,

I am returning it with the express hope that you will be able to exchange it for a functional burner. I have

purchased Wellcraft products in the past, and have been satisfied with their overall quality. I trust that the

950 Outdoor Burner will meet all my needs, once I have a fully functioning model.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,

James E. Bay

Dear Dr. Murphy,

Thank you very much for agreeing to make a third meal available to my son Brian while he is enrolled in

Fairview’s after-school band program. I do have one concern, though, about the food being offered after

school. The choices do not seem to have any relation to recognized medical studies about such things as

excessive fat, sugar, and useless junk food.

Brian informs me that in recent days his after-school menu has included fried fish with fried potato

nuggets, a hot dog with potato chips, and fried chicken with French fried potatoes. The most healthful

piece of food offered to Brian in the past week seemed to be a small piece of green pepper floating on a

sea of cheese on a pizza.

I do not feed my son this sort of food at home, and I don’t think it’s appropriate for a school to serve.

Your regular lunch fare usually-includes a salad and a cooked vegetable. Is there any reason why these

couldn’t be offered as part of the after-school meal, as well? I would very much like to talk to the school

dietician or whoever has designed the after-school menu about the school’s third meal food offerings.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

Karen Diamond

Subject : Request to attend conference

Dear Marsha,

I am writing to request permission to attend the three-day “Internet Marketing Conference”in San

Francisco, September 13-15. Attached is a brochure describing the seminar. The cost of attending is

approximately $1,200, plus transportation (I’m willing to drive), hotel, and meals.

I have spoken with Fred Black, Creative Director of DiPerno and Jones Advertising, who went to last

year’s conference in Mexico, and he recommends it highly. As the Marketing Manager for Klein

Graphics, I think it would benefit the company tremendously to have me learn the latest trends in this

important field.

Please let me know if you would like more information from me about the conference or how I

would expect the training to benefit my job at Klein Graphics.

Thank you in advance,

Tara Branson”
