This beautiful album is the first of nine books in a series highlighting the folk costumes and their history of each region. (Zywiec Townspeople, Silesia Highlanders, Cieszyn Townspeople, Zywiec Highlanders, Babia Gora Highlanders, Orawa Highlanders, Podhale Highlanders, Spisz Highlanders, Sacz and Pieniny Mountain Highlanders)
Polish folk dress is one of the most important elements of traditional culture. It is one of the most notable and most easily perceptible determinants of regional distinctiveness, being at the same time a certain object of art.
This book, published by the Golec Brothers Foundation is a precious source of information on folk art. The authors present the richness and uniqueness of folk dress in the most characteristic and popular regions of the Polish Carpathian Mountains. The highly attractive photographic documentation is complemented by descriptions of most festive clothes of highlanders and townspeople living in the highlands, written especially for this purpose. Lavishly illustrated with color photos. Text in Polish and English.
