These pictures of an early Mummer costume from 1829 come from the Cora Ginsberg catalogues I mentioned yesterday.
There is a good book with plenty of reference material for current folk celebrations called Mummers, Maypoles and Milkmaids by Sara Hannant and an excellent BFI collection of very early film footage called Here's a Health to the Barley Mow.
I can recommend both.

Unique costume ideas, I must say. It's been quite a while since I last saw some good Halloween costume ideas on the internet, most of them are copied or a rerun of some old stuff. It's nice to see some original for once.
