Go see it in the next couple of days or it may be gone; Dover usually only has samples up for about a week. Here's an image of one of the sample pages:



The notes page included in the samples is interesting and informative about the costumes, describing coloring of the linings, symbolism embodied in certain accouterments, and listing ceremonial uses of the garments.
