“Many examples have survived of the various articles pertaining to the equipment of a Greek lady's toilet-table. Combs, hair pins, mirrors, boxes, and bottles are numerous in our museums. Combs are usually made of ivory or bone, with a double row of rather fine teeth. Hair-pins of bone, ivory, or metal consist of a single pin with an ornamental head.”
A single volume combining Greek Dress by Abrahams and Chapters on Greek Dress by Evans, detailing the history of the development of dress from ancient times to the present, accessible not only for the student of costume, but for anyone interested in fashion.
