Hi all, I've recently written an article on the history of the parasol through the 16th and early 17th centuries.
Over the last 4 or 5 years, reenactors and faire people have repeatedly told me "parasols arent period." I've had the evidence to support their use for at least as long, but I finally decided to make a formal article about it. Although I am selling items elsewhere on this site, my goal with this article wasn't to sell more, but to provide reenactors with the evidence to dispel this particular myth. So, I invite anyone interested to have a look. You may check out the article at http://www.margaretroedesigns.com/parasolhist.html. I will be forwarding this article to several lists during the next few days, so I apologize if you receive this several times. I hope you all enjoy, Margaret Roe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
