Broché, [EAN: 9788385463269], Institute of the Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of the Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Book, [PU: Institute of the Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences], Institute of the Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences, This book by Prof. Irena Turnau, outstanding specialist in the history of textile industry and clothing, presents a subject which has not attracted much attention: clothes used for working. Magnificent costumes indicated their owners' social status, wealth and power, but it was impossible to work in them. It was difficult even to move in heavy fur coats, elaborate headgear and shoes of fancy shapes. This study discusses comfortable garments which made physical labour possible and did not hinder any kind of activity. They were used in peasant farms and craftsmen's workshops, they served miners, steelworkers, masons and sailors, they were worn by servants in order to stress the high status of their masters. This book is dedicated to all those people of the past who tucked up their tunics, rolled up their sleeves and trousers, protected themselves with aprons, invented supports and yokes in order to carry commodities - to all the indigent inhabitants of Europe and the neighbouring regions of Asia who toiled to earn their living. The issue of occupational dress in past centuries is extremely complex. No one has ever tried to formulate exact definitions in this field, and the available studies are purely descriptive. --- Published in a limited edition of 500 copies., 301130, Thèmes, 689215031, Actu, Politique et Société, 4237308031, Adolescents, 301144, Art, Musique et Cinéma, 301133, Bandes dessinées, 293136011, Beaux livres, 8434456031, Calendriers et Agendas, 302050, Cuisine et Vins, 301147, Dictionnaires, langues et encyclopédies, 301985, Droit, 301135, Entreprise et Bourse, 573312, Érotisme, 406310, Esotérisme et Paranormal, 3961911, Etudes supérieures, 301142, Famille et bien-être, 301138, Fantasy et Terreur, 689214031, Histoire, 302009, Humour, 301131, Informatique et Internet, 301137, Livres pour enfants, 355635011, Loisirs créatifs, décoration et bricolage, 302004, Manga, 355636011, Nature et animaux, 301997, Religions et Spiritualités, 302042, Romance et littérature sentimentale, 301132, Romans et littérature, 301134, Romans policiers et polars, 12641896031, Santé, Forme et Diététique, 1381962031, Science-Fiction, 301141, Sciences, Techniques et Médecine, 301139, Sciences humaines, 301146, Scolaire et Parascolaire, 301143, Sports et passions, 302051, Tourisme et Voyages, 301061, Livres<
