A costume book published in Paris in 1567 by François Desprez, a French printer, presenting women and figures from across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas in woodcut plates with French verse captions. The pictures show full-length standing figures in framed borders, each labelled with a national or regional dress type, offering a designer a compact reference for historical garments, headwear and posture.
