re buttons, from somewhere in the dark recesses, I seem to remember,
gentlemen dressed themselves, ladies had a maid who would "do them up"
standing face to face, (probably easier than reaching round from the back in
some cases anyway).

Gosh, some interesting points here today.
Anyone know when that actual rule of placing buttons differently for men
and
women originated?
I suppose one would have to check both sexes to see if they are both
reversed.
This topic comes up on quite a regular basis regarding prints of the hurdy
gurdy as well - you unscrew the handle if you play it left handed :0
Unless
it's constructed that way, of course with a reverse thread.

I have the idea that if one looks at the buttons on coats and waistcoats
( if present) one can solve the problem of whether the image is true or
not. Ladies have buttons on the left and Gents on the right.
good spotting
