Oh please think of me with the 1695 gown and all the 18th century things?

Subject: [h-cost] Met Museum Bulletin
In the process of (finally) unpacking my books, I've been finding things
that could use a home other than mine. I have a Metropolitan Museum of
Art Bulletin from back in the days when they sent members these glossy
books every quarter. It's from the costume collection and contains large,
high-quality pictures of garments from 1695 through the early 1950's,
including microphotographs of some of the embroidered detail of the
garments. It's nice to look at, but way past anything I'm really
interested in.
So... I will scan and send photos of anything that someone fancies, and
the whole thing can belong to the first person who asks for it. (You have
two weeks to ask for the pictures, then I'll mail it.) The highlights:
- Complete embroidered woman's dress from 1695
- Four men's 18th c embroidered coats, one uncut, one with original
embroidery cartoon, one with pants and vest
- Men's banyans
- Assorted women's 18c dresses, one with panniers, most sack-backed, all
embroidered or hand-painted, 1740's - 1795
- Assorted women's 19c outfits, day dresses, evening wear, several from
each decade
- Assorted women's 20c outfits, evening wear, suits, etc, up to the 50's
