Every Genealogist Should Get a CopyBy Norats InthecornI bought this book to help me date old family photos from the 1800s through early 1900s (hats are great for dating photos). The pages are dated with the fashion years; so it was very helpful that way. I only wish someone had labeled the items with the style names. Still; a fascinating and educational journey into vintage fashion; and a helpful resource for genealogists and people curious about those old pictures in the trunk in the attic.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Shoes hats and fashion Dover Pictorial Archives SeriesBy phillip nuttThere is a great need for reference material of the past. particularly the 1900`s through 50`s. This publication had some good illustrations but there were no references as to source; just a time period and thus only of general backgroud reference. . I also found that many of the images were common available images elsewhere. The low price made the purchase an acceptable member of my reference library even if it be only for tracking down better information from other more detailed resources of the images that were shown.

There were a few additional items in this particular publication that were missing in others and I especially appreciated the feature of separating the items by period usage.
