I found this when I did a Google search. www.blakeneymanor.com Maybe the pictures were taken from this book: "All images and text from The Mode In Costume by R. Turner Wilcox, Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1958" Sharon C. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Laurie Taylor Sent: Sunday, April 17, 2011 11:54 PM To: 'Historical Costume' Subject: [h-cost] Image search - Romantic period
Good evening, Ok, so it's almost midnight and I'm plugging away on a project that I really don't need finished until Fall. It's what I'm in the mood for though, so here I am, up too late and probably too tired to think clearly! I am looking for an image, probably of a man and a women - maybe a fashion sketch, maybe a painting, maybe something else... He is wearing a clawhammer tail coat, aka dress coat. She is wearing a Redingote gown. That is all I have. I would have seen this image in a Costume History class in 1987-88, during the lecture and again on one of the exams. On that exam, we were shown the image and asked to identify the Period, approx. date, country, Key Garment and Key Accessory/Garment. On my copy of the test, I got full credit for Romantic, 1815-1848, England/France, Clawhammer tailcoat, Redingote gown. >From that answer, I drew my conclusion that this picture would have been of a man and a woman. If you're a costume history image fanatic, or a Romantic period fanatic, and this strikes a cord with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts on images that might fit this description. It's not critical or urgent, but it will probably drive me crazy with wondering!
