The excellent reception accorded Bruhn-Tilke’s “Kostiimwerk” when it first appeared in Germany in 1941, and the
interest in it that has been manifested since, have made it desirable that an English edition should be published.
This book is the result of a life-time of study by Max Tilke who for many years collaborated in the production of Dr. Ros-
enberg’s ““Geschichte des Kostiims”, and his knowledge of costume was as considerable as his love of drawing and paint-
ing. Dr. Wolfgang Bruhn, Curator of the Berlin State Library and Director of the famous Lipperheide Kostiimbibliothek,
collaborated as an expert advisor and editor of the captions to the plates based on Dr. Tilke’s own notes.
With its 200 plates representing nearly 4000 specimens of costumes the book embraces the whole subject of the history
of costume. It presents a survey of the most important garments of all times and all peoples from Antqiuity to the end
of the 19th century.
The original German edition was a bulky volume with plates printed on one side of the paper only. In order to achieve
a more handy volume the present edition has the plates printed on both sides of the paper. The economy thus effected has
made it possible to publish at a very reasonable price inspite of the enormous increases in the cost of printing that have
taken place since 1941. By printing on both sides of the paper the original sequence of the plates has had to be altered
for technical reasons, but these changes are few and not of importance. The twelve plates representing cuts or patterns of
costumes which appeared in the text of the original edition have been excluded from the present volume as they are
incorporated in Tilke’s complementary work, “Kostiimschnitte und Gewandformen” (1948).
The colour plates are facsimiles from the originals coloured by Max Tilke. The monochrome plates have been produced
partly from Tilke’s drawings and partly from engravings and photographs in the Lipperheide Kostiimbibliothek. Our
sincere thanks are due to the directors of the Staatliche Kunstbibliothek for permitting the use of patterns from engravings
and photographs selected by Dr. Wolfgang Bruhn.

SCYTHIANS AND INHABITANTS OF ASIA MINOR (£arly Greek Culture)


The Scythians (Saks) often mentioned by Herodotus were a mounted stock breeding people north of the lower Danube and in modern
southern Russia, who invaded Asia Minor in the 7th century.
Presumably they are a European tribe of the Iranians and related to the Persians, thus being Indo-Europeans.
