About this Item
Description:
1931. First edition. [vi], 197pp., [i], and 10 diagrams engraved by the author. Arthur Eric Rowton Gill (1882-1940) was an English sculptor, letter cutter, typeface designer, and printmaker. He was also a prolific writer on religious and social matters, with some 300 printed works including books and pamphlets to his name. In this book he discusses the significance of clothes in society and argues for a more egalitarian approach to clothing; for example, Gill advocates the suitability of men's clothing (trousers) for women, as a way to liberate the sexes and create a more equal society. The book is bound in the original green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear and light soiling on the boards. The spine ends and top corners are lightly bumped and the spine is faded. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription. Seller Inventory # gFashion03
