FOREWORD

Woman as Decoration is intended as a sequel
to The Art of Interior Decoration (Grace
Wood and Emily Burbank).

Having assisted in setting the stage for woman,
the next logical step is the consideration of
woman, herself, as an important factor in the
decorative scheme of any setting, - the vital
spark to animate all interior decoration, private
or public. The book in hand is intended as a
brief guide for the woman who would under-
stand her own type, - make the most of it, and
know how simple a matter it is to be decorative
if she will but master the few rules underlying
all successful dressing. As the costuming of
woman is an art, the history of that art must be
known - to a certain extent - by one who would
be an intelligent student of our subject With
the assistance of thirty-three illustrations to
throw light upon the text, we have tried to tell
the beguiling story of decorative woman, as she
appears in frescoes and has reliefs of Ancient
Egypt on Greek vases, the Gothic woman in
tapestry and stained glass, woman in painting,
stucco and tapestry of the Renaissance, seven-
teenth, eighteenth and nineteenth century woman
in portraits.
