Thank you Janet for sharing this.
I see that there is a book on the collection, Holbein in England.
Has anyone here seen the book, and is it worth getting for those
rarely seen images, like the ones that for copyright restriction is
not on the website?
And looking at Amazon.com, I see the author, Susan Foister, has
another book that is thicker
Holbein and England (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies)
Does anyone know of any details on this book?
Thank you,
Kimiko

There's a nice on-line display of Holbein's English work at

Most of the pictures of women are already well-known but some of the
men (and their clothes) were new to me. There are also a number of
studies of jewelry.
The Holbein catalogue is well worth buying. The reproductions are
excellent. I haven't read the text as I was too busy enjoying the
pictures. I went to the exhibition with some costume minded friends a
couple of weeks ago, and without dawdling, it took us 2 1/2 hours to
go round. We followed it with a visit to the current Velasquez
exhibition, also well worth the visit. I did not buy the full size
catalogue for that, so cannot comment.
