Octavii Ferrarii De Re Vestiaria Libri Septem: Quatuor postremi nunc primum prodeunt: reliqui emendatiores & auctiores. Adiectis iconibus, quibus res tota oculis subiicitur
Octavius Ferrarius's 1654 Latin treatise on ancient Roman clothing, published in Padua and printed for scholars and antiquarians, illustrates Roman dress through engraved plates of standing figures. The pictures show togate and draped figures in full length, with clean outlines, shaded folds and small props such as a branch or a helmet, giving a designer a clear reference for classical drapery and garment silhouettes.
