[lace] Catalogue of 16th and 17th Century Portraits
I have just had a look at this catalogue. Wonderful. I am especially intrigued by #30/31 - and when brought up in close-up, the strips of appliqué on her dress appears to be gold and silver Lace - similar to laces shown in Le Pompe, etc. What do others think? I had always felt that the early laces were possibly/probably appliquéd onto the clothes, and that many of the portraits showed lace that was not so easily recognised as such, due to them looking like strips of embroidery.

Thank you very much for this: not only have I just spent hours enjoying the art and lace, but I've also found three new items of fifteenth century sculpture for my history project.

Re: [lace] Catalogue of 16th and 17th Century Portraits
Thanks for posting this, it will be great fun to go through them all in detail. I do not have it blown up to full size so am missing most of the lace, but plate 10 is very similar to a pattern in Nuw Modelbuch. The pattern is on page 18 and is titled "Fadermodel mit XXVI." This translates roughly to feather model with 26.

[lace] Catalogue of 16th and 17th Century Portraits
A friend has sent me this link:- http://www.weissgallery.com/catalogue/weiss25years.htm It will take you to the on-line catalogue of the Weiss Gallery in London, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a remarkable exhibition. Portraits from the 16th and 17th centuries are their specilaism, and this catalogue has beautiful photographs of many remarkable persons. Not only can you study it on-line, but you can also download it as a pdf without any charge. Of course, all the people are wearing their best clothes, including some amazing lace. You can zoom in on the photographs, (some of which are close-ups themselves). Perhaps the experts on this list will even be able to say something about the kinds of lace and how it was made? Personally, I just admire it all. But I'm very intrigued to see how the lace was worn: caps, collars, cuffs, even lace on shoes. And I'm particularly interested to see all the lace on the children's clothes. (Evidently children were much better behaved in those days . . . !) I hope you will enjoy it as much as I've been doing for the past hour, Linda Walton, (on a cool and gloomy evening in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K., where we're still hoping for rain). - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
