Summary "Ancient Egyptian, Assyrian, and Persian costumes and decorations" by Mary G. Houston et al. is a technical history of costume written in the early 20th century. This informative work delves into the various styles and designs of clothing and decorations from ancient Egypt, Assyria, and Persia, contributing to the understanding of historical fashion and material culture. The book provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of traditional garments, their construction, and the materials used, such as linen and wool. Each section covers different types of costumes, ranging from tunics and robes to shawls and draperies, emphasizing the rich decorative elements and the variations between male and female attire in these ancient cultures.
