About This Item

London: Geoffrey Cumberlege /Oxford University Press, 1949.. 1st edition. "Clothes are not the clothes of the body, but of the mind; indeed the body itself is but a suit of clothing, to be discarded, like an old suit when its need is past. Yes, the Universe itself with Time and Space for its warp and woof, is nothing but a garment which makes the Invisible visible. To this transcendentalism has the Philosophy of Clothes led us as it must lead all who pursue it to the end." (Introduction). Pp.63, 32 sepia plates, toning to endpapers. Grey and pink paper-covered boards, wear to spine, edges and corners. G+.
