[h-cost] Threads of Feeling Exhibition

[Linda Walton]

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.

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