Description: Eesti RahvaroivadBy Melanie Kaarma with Aino VoolmaaCOMPLETE IN 3 VOLUMESPublished by Eesti Raamat, Tallinn, 1981. Mostly ESTONIAN LANGUAGE BOOKS. Complete Set of 3 Volumes. Presumed First Editions. Very good used books, tight bindings, solid spines, unmarked texts, some cover wear and tears to dust jackets (repaired with archival tape). 2 hardcovers in dustjackets and 1 paperback folder. Vol. 1 text is in Estonian, Russian, English and German; Vols. 2 & 3 are in Estonian only. The first hardcover volume is 462 pages and provides a region-by-region look at traditional Estonian clothing, with many color illustrations (some black-and-white). The second hardcover volume is a 166 page pattern guide, in case you'd like to try to create some of the costumes yourself. The Third paperback folder vol. Contains 9 large double sided folded pattern sheets (one side in color, the verso in black & white) that measure approx. 26.5” x 19”. This is an exhaustive and detailed study of Baltic & Slavic traditional clothing covering nearly all aspects of dress, the illustrations are incredible, the patterns are detailed and well described. Because Estonia has been dominated by foreign powers through much of its history the clothing shown here represents of a large swath of European, Baltic, Slavic, Russian and other folk garb well beyond the borders of Estonia.
