Georges Seligman presents a translated inventory of the wardrobe of Marie Anne de Bourbon, Princess of Condé, taken after her death in 1720. It lists linen, lace-trimmed garments, gowns, cloaks, petticoats, sashes, tippets, headdresses and sleeves with their appraised prices in livres, covering rooms at the Hôtel de Condé and the Tuileries. Footnotes explain terms such as Saint Maur reps and gros de Tours, and a short closing commentary remarks on the scarcity of linen, handkerchiefs and stockings. Illustrations include a portrait of the princess, a band of French needlepoint, and a print of the Hôtel de Condé garden.
