WOW. Not only very moving, but being able to really look closely at the
fabrics, ribbons and embroidery was wonderful.

Here is a link to the exhibition of textile items left with abandoned
babies at the London Foundling Hospital in the eighteenth century.
There are all sorts of things - ribbons, sleeves, embroidery,
prints,
fabrics of all sorts, along with the contemporary description.
Warning: it's very sad!

If you click on the writing under the Coram logo, it should go to
a
slide show, (with the same web address, so I can't give it
separately),
which shows the samples pinned to the pages of the register, one
page
completed for each foundling admitted.
