Byzantine Fashions Coloring Book,
By Jerry Winters "The Servant" (Stonewall, OK USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Byzantine Fashions (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
As an educator of history I feel that this is a great outlet for the precocious child or the history buff-collector. Money well spent!

Much more than a coloring book,
This review is from: Byzantine Fashions (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
This book features beautifully executed illustrations of both male and female Byzantine fashions from the empire's many ages. Adapted from works of late-antique and medieval art, the drawings present emperors, aristocrats, townspeople, country people, clerics, and soldiers. The introduction gives an overview of terms pertaining to Byzantine clothing. Explanatory notes, including reference to the time period and to the class of individuals represented, accompany each drawing. Finally, the closing pages contain small depictions of the various hats, hairstyles, and footwear worn throughout Byzantium's long millennium. A valuable resource for students of Byzantine history, and a genuine visual treat.

Marvelous Fun!,
By labellepersonne (Midwest USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Byzantine Fashions (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
When I've got a Tom Tierney coloring book, I know I'm in for a world of fashion fun. I own several of Mr. T.'s coloring books - and have enjoyed all of them immensely.
I always have a creative blast with Tom's coloring books. He draws each person as an individual with interesting expressions and body language which I find invites me to create dialog for the character, especially since there are usually two figures per page. Tom also supplies interesting facts about the fashions being worn and the time period. The fashions and figures are always very well drawn. Some of the designs are intricate, if a child finds the smaller lines difficult to manage, I would suggest just color over the design/pattern on the clothes--it will still look wonderful--if you use something which allows the design to show through the color. I do them with markers that won't bleed through, and colored chalk applied with Q-tips. An ideal coloring book for anyone who enjoys coloring people and costumes/clothes. Highly recommended.
