Thanks so much. I haven't seen that one before, and, yes, it surely does
look like Eleanora.
In 1999 I went to London with some friends. While there we attended a Study
Day at the V&A. It was originally intended to be lead by Janet Arnold, but
she had passed away the previous autumn. So it turned into a kind of
rememberance of her.
Anyway, one of the curators from the Tate said that she was working
gathering images of pregnant ladies for (I believe) a book. I'm pretty sure
that it wasn't an exhibition.
Has anyone heard or seen anything about this?
Just curious.
And thanks again, Susan.
With regards,
kate
PS: Does anyone know if there is a publication date for Janet Arnold's book
on underwear? That was one other thing that was discussed that day.

Yes, please! I'd love to see possible Eleanor of Toledo.
The tinyurl is the link to the same page .....
Well, it's definately Eleanora (I found this one on the web somewhere,
and seem to have misplaced the information. If it's yours, please let
me know) just look at that pregnant face ...
