Hi,
Yes you are right, i went to the museums website and they do have a
photographer there, but i would have to pay him, and that would be
expensive. Perhaps i could travel to Gotland for the same money. I got the
feeling that the museum would not mind me photographing the stays.
These stays are some of the most beautifull i have seen, very plain, but
beautifull craftmanship. Grey linnen with blue tiny tapes at the seams. And
besides this is very unusual dated from 1760-80 because it has a boatshaped
neckline, with tied shoulderstraps off the shoulders.
I have ben thinking i would send Ian the staymaker a copy of the photo from
the book, because it is so beautifull.

A lot of times it's pricey because they don't have a professional
photographer on staff and to have one come in and do a set-up just for
one object costs them a lot.

Museums are kinda weird this way. The Phoenix Art Museum for instance
has
no photograph what so ever of the portrait of the dress I am
recreating......you'd think they'd photograph everything just for
insurance
purposes.
I'd contact the museum. Often, they will photograph the article if you
are
willing to pay for it. It can be pricey. The Norton Simon Museum
offered
to do this for me on a particular portrait. They wanted $100 6 years
ago.
