Description: Beautiful, rare book about traditional culture and peasant costumes in the Kyjov region of Moravia (Czech Republic). Over 150 black/white photos of people in folk costumes from Moravia. Several full-color store plates as well. Introductory text and photo captions in Czech. Rare book published during WWII and certainly a rare find and great addition to your folk costume and culture collection. Also includes several traditional melodies with written out sheet music.
A note regarding condition: All of the costumes and textiles that I sell are vintage and have typically seen decades of use resulting in expected wear and tear that add to the history and authenticity of each piece. In case of above-average wear, I will mention any significant damages and heavy signs of use. Depending on the age, materials, and condition, I often hand-wash more durable, colorfast cotton and linen textiles, but embellished garments, heavier wool pieces or items made from silk or fine fabrics are sold in the original, unwashed condition. Small holes or stains, missing sequins/beads, worn trim, and other marks related to standard wear are common and do not detract from the value of most pieces. Please keep in mind that a vintage textile or garment in very good condition might still show signs of use, storage and age.
Not sure about the condition? Need more photos? Sure! Etsy allows up to 10 photos online, but I often have more images available so please send an e-mail request for more.
