Hi all, my friend Camilla Luise Dahl who is a costume historian in Denmark,
pointed me to their latest project. Sorry for the cross posts, but I wanted to
get to as many folks as I could.
Very cool headdresses!! As Camilla and I spoke last night, they will really
make you wonder why the heart shaped Attifet worn by Mary Queen of Scots is
attributed to her - looks like they came from here!
http://www.livinghistory.dk/index.html There are lots of wonderful pictures,
gravestones, and effigies here which are probably rarely seen by most people.
They are from the churches around Denmark. Most of the pictures I think are
"donor" pictures.
I don't read Danish, but you can basically pick any of the menus from the home
page - most will take you to an album of churches. Click on the church and
then you should see a selection of paintings. Each painting has several
detailed shots. All are available for download in high definition.
If you want just an overview of the goodies go here:
http://www.livinghistory.dk/top10/top10.html or here

But there are many many more cool ones.
The date range is from late 1500s to late 1600s (there may even be some later).
You can use the search box to narrow it down a bit:
For instance 1590-99 (but it appears that it must be in that format)
Happy Browsing!
