Matthew,
Have you seen Holbein's "Dance of Death" woodcuts? They're small, but there are several men wearing the style of robes you describe. Here's a link to the online version: http://www.godecookery.com/macabre/holdod/holdod.htm Look at the Judge, the Advocate, the Physician, etc. The pictures are much clearer in the book I have; the originals are pretty small, I think, which is why they're so fuzzy online. Does anybody have any other books of Holbein woodcuts? I always hear that he was so famous for his woodcuts in his lifetime, but I can't seem to get my hands on any of them besides "The Dance of Death." Hope this helps, Tea Rose ============================================== Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2007 18:08:52 +0000 (GMT) From: julian wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [h-cost] historic academic robes - robes for 15th/16th C. Barber Surgeons, Chirugeons, & Notaries REQUEST FOR HELP, PLEASE Gentles of the Historical Costume List, can any Listers direct me to clear contemporary illustrations of the over-robes worn for "normal day wear" by late-medieval professionals such as Barber-Surgeons, Chirugeons, and Notaries?
