A noted photohistorian documents bonnets, capes, frock coats, caps, shawls, bodices, and crinolines as people actually wore them from 1840 through 1914. More than 200 photos depict aristocrats and the middle class as well as Oscar Wilde, Lillie Langtry, Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria, and others. Commentary and annotations describe and identify the costumes.Helmut Gernsheim (1913-95), a former commercial photographer, is one of the most significant and prolific photographers' historians. In the 1940s, he almost invented the academic study of photography by conducting considerable research and gathering a valuable collection of historical prints. His publications are still considered reliable references on the history of photography.
