A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Russian costume as worn by the peasants of my native land upon occasions of religious celebration or simple village merry-making. Sometimes the information has been desired for the purpose of giving a beautiful pageant authority and exactitude as well as interest and picturesqueness; sometimes for dramatic purposes; more often than all else, of course, for use in my own beloved art of the dance. Much interest has also been shown in the social customs and traditions, the numerous church festivals, the harvest jollities and wedding celebrations of the land of the steppes. Because of this interest, I have long thought it might be a good and serviceable thing to set down in print such detailed information as is most often sought, in order to place upon record and accessible to every one concerned, the material needed for the above purposes. In now undertaking this I count myself very fortunate in being able, through the courtesy of the John Lane Co., Publishers, to offer a great part of the material in the more agreeable and impressive form of pictures.
