Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Great Anti-Crinoline League is a book written by Lescribleur and first published in 1883. The book is a satirical critique of the fashion trend of crinolines, which were large hoop skirts worn by women during the mid-19th century. The author, using the pen name V. Lescribleur, creates a fictional organization called the Anti-Crinoline League, which aims to rid society of the cumbersome and impractical fashion trend. The book is a humorous and witty commentary on the absurdity of fashion trends and the lengths people will go to follow them. Lescribleur pokes fun at the fashion industry and the social pressures that drive people to conform to certain styles. The book is also a commentary on the role of women in society, as the crinoline was seen as a symbol of female oppression and a hindrance to women's mobility and independence. Overall, The Great Anti-Crinoline League is a clever and entertaining satire that offers a unique perspective on the fashion trends and social norms of the 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of fashion and gender roles in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
