Hi Michaela,
Thanks for sharing this link with us.
Depending on time frame, I just want to warn people that the images may not
be "accurate", as to me, some look rather "Victorian" in styling. I am
currently looking over the 1500s England to see what they have. Some are
not in the right time frame (ie images noted as being in the reign of James
I, which was 1600s). Some are noted on the image as being of a certain
date, but the style of garment is definitely incorrect for that date. (ie:
Elizabeth, 1559., IMAGE ID: 811192 ). Most make me want to see the
original, if there is any. Thankfully, they do have detailed info on where
the plates originally come from in most cases.
There is one lady holding a handbag! ([Woman in long dress holding a
handbag]. IMAGE ID: 811216) Oh, I've never seen that style of purse in this
time period before.
There is one that I have become partial to. Anyone know if there is an
actual portrait this image may be based on?
(Mary. IMAGE ID: 811214 )
