German professor Hermann Weiss, artist, art historian, and cultural historian, dedicated seventeen years of his life to a task that no one had ever fully accomplished before: collecting and historically accurately recreating the costumes, jewelry, weapons, utensils, furniture, and architectural details of all the major peoples of the world throughout their history. He traveled to dozens of archaeological excavations, studied all the significant museum collections in Europe, and personally produced approximately three thousand detailed illustrations, which you can see in this publication.

Weiss's work has long been recognized as a classic of the academic genre, translated into many languages, and remains relevant to readers interested in material culture. In terms of the breadth of its coverage and the conscientiousness with which the author brought disparate information into a unified system, this book remains unrivaled in Russia.

This luxurious gift edition, featuring gold embossing and hundreds of color and black-and-white illustrations, will take pride of place in the library of any cultural history enthusiast or collector.
