Gloves and Glove-making

Beschreibung

From workaday marigolds to hand-wear custom crafted for the Queen, gloves perform many functions - insulation from the cold, protection from injury, and even ceremonial roles. This book tells the story of the closely guarded privileges of the glove-makers' guilds.
