Malliot, J. (Joseph), 1735-1808. · 1809 · Paris : P. Didot l'Ainé · 82 pictures

A late eighteenth-century antiquarian study of ancient peoples' costume, customs and military dress, written by J. Mailliot and published in Paris in 1809 by P. Didot l'Ainé for scholars and students of history. Its plates are tidy engraved grids of helmets, heads in profile, armoured soldiers and robed court figures, showing how ancient dress was catalogued by nation and rank, useful for historical costume references and period detail in editorial or heritage design.
