Quoting otsisto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I'm not sure I understand the tree. Is the woman standing the matriarch of the family and the couple sitting at the bottom of the drawing brother and sister or are they the parents and the woman standing the featured descendent?
The tree? *giggle* I've never even tried to figure out the tree! I need to see if I can print a copy large enough to read the names -- then it might work.
Not as wild as the Swabian.
I suppose! :-) The Swabians do like their beads/pearls, don't they! There's a painting by Part that is very similar
I thought that it was Myra that had the whole thing, but she does have some of the pieces parts here http://myra.hem.nu/costume/CostumeGallery/Embroidery_1490/Embroidery_1490.htm Found it! http://www.aeiou.at/aeiou.encyclop.b/b003177.htm
I like the blue dress on the woman just above and to the right of the standing woman. She has an interesting fan. Then again the blue and red to the lower left of the woman's black sleeves are interesting.
I love these things. I forget now how many leaves there were originally, I know that at least one of them was never inked in -- but they are a *wealth* of detail!
Thank you for the picture.
Hey, as packrat of interesting (but not always useful) information, I feel it's part of my duty to pass it along! :-D Susan ----- Susan Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Tennessee Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology http://www.goldsword.com/sfarmer/Trillium/ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
