This is a huge book - the binding is shot, but i thought it would have great interest for fashion historians/afficianados and re-enactors as well as the more traditional history set. It has not only soldier pics, but everyday fashions as well., pub 1933. over 250 pages packed with only photos (and a caption or newspaper clipping here and there.

Voila it works !!!!(i warn folks to make sure they don't change their preferences by accident, because everything ended up in Estonian for a few minutes )
 
Also, obviously that tunic is in a collection somewhere, since it was saved at the time. I have it on good authority that the SMithsonian holds the shirt worn by Abraham Lincoln at the time he was shot, and Jackie Kennedy's pink suit. That's the makings of a bizarre museum exhibition...

Also, a museum in France says they have a shoe worn by Marie Antoinette that she lost on the way to the scaffold, but the provenance on this is in doubt.
 
well, it does not say about the tunic. there is an intro and it does say in the appendix where each photo was taken, but none on that pic. It in the intro is meant to be a photo history vs a history history. So i do not know where it was at the book's publishing. Who would know?

I knew that the Smithsonian had Jackie Kennedy's suit, but did not know about Lincoln's. I would assume if anyone had it, it would be them, though.
