Suzanne-
If you're still interested in the pictures, e-mailing the scans did not
work out. I can send you a CD-Rom of all the pictures, if you send me your
mailing address.
Happy holidays,
-Helen

Thank you for this generous offer!
The women's 19th C. and 20th C. outfits, et al., might be useful for
teaching purposes at the university where I work -- but I'm a librarian,
not a Textiles & Clothing professor, so would you be willing to send
scans to me and I can contact the right people? (Well, to be honest,
we'd probably like to see everything! But I don't want to seem greedy.)
If it's too much trouble then never mind....
Suzanne

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
