trying in the coming weeks.

Review: History of Costume

The “History of Costume”or “Zur Geschichte der Kostume”was printed from 1861 to 1880 in Munich by the publishing
firm of Braun and Schneider. It was originally published as individual plates in a German magazine titled “Munchener
Bilderbogen.” Later, these plates were collected and bound into book form. The total publication consisted of 125
10
pages, with four color illustrations per page, for a total of 500 costume designs. These plates show historical dress from
antiquity to the end of the 19th century.
This book is an excellent source for students who are studying the history of fashion, and for costume designers. One
must be aware though, that these illustrations have a Victorian perspective to their designs. The last 35 pages show
contemporary folk dress (c.1880) from most European, Asian, and African countries. These provide a source for
researching plays that take place during the Victorian period, such as “The King and I” or “The Sea Gull.” The original
book was published in German, so at times, the English translation is confusing. This is especially noticeable in the
contemporary folk dress plates where many of the countries mentioned now have different names or no longer exist.
If you wish to obtain additional information on the original book, Denver Publications has an excellent reproduction of
the printing entitled “Historic Costume in Pictures” by Braun and Schneider.
173. According to the review, how was the “History of
Costume” first published?
(a) In book form
(b) As individual plates in a German magazine
(c) As part of a research paper
(d) As a series of framed prints.
174. Which of the following is said to be included in the
book?
(a) 19th century photographs
(b) 500 pictures of costumes
(c) Original sewing patterns
(d) Nearly 2,000 pages of text
175. What does the review state is a problem with the
book?
(a) It is poorly translated.
(b) It is not historically accurate.

(c) Its images are poorly reproduced.
(d) It does not include enough countries.
176. According to the reviewer, who might find the book
useful?
(a) World travelers
(b) College students
(c) Fashion designers
(d) Theater researchers

WELLCRAFT 950 OUTDOOR PROPANE BURNER
Equipment Instructions
Please read and understand these instructions prior to operating this unit.
Turn off the valve at the air mixer.
Connect the regulator to the cylinder and tighten.
Open the cylinder and check all fittings for leaks.

(located on the top of the regulator) will increase the pressure. The burner is also adjustable by turning the valve to
increase or decrease the amount of flame.
NEVER allow a vessel to go empty, as you could cause damage due to the intense heat the burner creates. NOTE:
Always turn off the service valve at the cylinder when not in use.

PLEASE NOTE
12
This is an outdoor cooker only. Never use this propane unit indoors and do not store the cylinder indoors. If you
encounter problems with this unit or require additional information, please feel free to contact our customer service

To whom it may concern,
I recently purchased a new Wellcraft 950 Outdoor Propane Burner. I have operated it twice, carefully following your
instructions, and have noticed a problem with the pressure adjustment controls. I have tried varying the pressure by
adjusting both the regulator handle and the valve, as per the instructions contained in the box. The problem I have
found is that the regulator handle seems to get stuck at a certain point when attempting to lower the pressure, and then
suddenly shuts off the flame. This has happened several times.
The handle difficulties indicate to me that I purchased a defective unit. Since this burner is under warranty, I am
returning it with the express hope that you will be able to exchange it for a functional burner. I have purchased Wellcraft
products in the past, and have been satisfied with their overall quality. I trust that the 950 Outdoor Burner will meet all
my needs, once I have a fully functioning model.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
James E. Bay

Dear Dr. Murphy,
Thank you very much for agreeing to make a third meal available to my son Brian while he is enrolled in Fairview’s
after-school band program. I do have one concern, though, about the food being offered after school. The choices do
not seem to have any relation to recognized medical studies about such things as excessive fat, sugar, and useless
junk food.
Brian informs me that in recent days his after-school menu has included fried fish with fried potato nuggets, a hot dog
with potato chips, and fried chicken with French fried potatoes. The most healthful piece of food offered to Brian in the
past week seemed to be a small piece of green pepper floating on a sea of cheese on a pizza.
I do not feed my son this sort of food at home, and I don’t think it’s appropriate for a school to serve. Your regular lunch
fare usually-includes a salad and a cooked vegetable. Is there any reason why these couldn’t be offered as part of the
after-school meal, as well? I would very much like to talk to the school dietician or whoever has designed the after-
school menu about the school’s third meal food offerings.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Karen Diamond

Subject : Request to attend conference
Dear Marsha,
I am writing to request permission to attend the three-day “Internet Marketing Conference”in San Francisco, September
13-15. Attached is a brochure describing the seminar. The cost of attending is approximately $1,200, plus
transportation (I’m willing to drive), hotel, and meals.
I have spoken with Fred Black, Creative Director of DiPerno and Jones Advertising, who went to last year’s conference
in Mexico, and he recommends it highly. As the Marketing Manager for Klein Graphics, I think it would benefit the
company tremendously to have me learn the latest trends in this important field.
Please let me know if you would like more information from me about the conference or how I
would expect the training to benefit my job at Klein Graphics.
Thank you in advance,
Tara Branson”
