Tons of images of rural/working clothing - redrawings but from historical sources.

Big drawback: The text and the images are organized differently [time vs. region then time], are not aligned with each other [Ex: women's headgear is described starting page 83 but those images are on page 188], and do not have any kind of label to connect the text to the images it references.
