Costume of Household Servants by Phillis Cunnington is a 1974 illustrated hardcover that explores the everyday dress of domestic staff from medieval halls to Edwardian townhouses, making it perfect for fashion historians, costume designers, and vintage reference collectors.

This ex-library copy still wears its protected dust jacket and carries a neat ink gift inscription rather than an author signature. Pages are tight, edges show discreet stamps, and light pencil notes appear on fewer than a dozen pages—no smoke or musty odor.

With its generous black-and-white plates and Cunnington’s authoritative commentary, the book doubles as a visual archive for theatre wardrobes and historical-reenactment wardrobes alike. Add this scarce fashion history title to your shelf while it’s available.
