Chiara Francesca -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Elizabeth Walpole Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 7:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Historic Costume Subject: [h-cost] 3 'new' portraits of Queen Elizabeth I've posted this information on about 4 lists so sorry if you get it more than once For those interested in Elizabethan clothing Sotheby's currently has 3 portraits of Queen Elizabeth I on their website which have been in private collections until now (and therefore relatively inaccessible) you can see them on this webpage http://preview.tinyurl.com/yr3le7 (the full url is http://browse.sothebys.com/?c_date=Session%201+|+22+Nov+07%2C+10%3A30+AM<br> &c_image=http://www.sothebys.com/media/live/pub/2007/OCT/p37576_thumb.jpg&c_ location=London,%20New%20Bond%20Street&c_name=Important+British+Paintings&ca t=1&event_id=28387&g=1&i=1&sale_id=L07123&nb=1&dp=British+Pictures+Before+18 50 ) I personally think the first one is the most interesting as it's clearly the source for one of the re-drawings in Herbert Norris (you can see a scan of Norris' picture on this page http://www.sapphireandsage.com/girdle.html ) but the best bit is that they are zoomable, you can zoom in really close to see details that are virtually impossible to see in most online scans, you will need to register to see the full size images but if you really object to giving Sotheby's your email address you can see if http://www.bugmenot.com/ has an id you can use.
