I see the plates on the dragonbear site, but not the text. Did I miss it? That's where you'll find Strutt's list of ms citations, along with lots and lots more. The intro on that site says "1862." Strutt wrote the book in 1796, and the original two-volume set is a wonder to behold if you are lucky enough to see one (usually in a rare book room). James Robinson Planche, the foremost Victorian English costume historian (at least he'd have said so if you'd asked him) published a revised Strutt edition, complete with his own annotations, in 1842. There is no 1862 edition that I know of, so that may have been a typo for the 1842 edition, either by the site owner or the original eBay seller of the plates. I don't think I've ever seen a copy of the Planche edition of Strutt that was hand-colored like these, but that doesn't mean this isn't one. It would make me ill to think that this might be a 1796 Strutt taken apart and sold page by page. Not so awful if it's the Planche edition, which is comparatively common, but still pretty distressing. --Robin > >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 >> 11:49:49 -0700> Subject: [h-cost] Wow - Strutt - Was : Where is this from >> again.> > Look what I just found! > > http://www.dragonbear.com/strutt.html> >> > May not be the text Robin was referring too, but....> >> _______________________________________________> h-costume mailing list> >> h-costume@mail.indra.com> http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume > _______________________________________________ > h-costume mailing list > h-costume@mail.indra.com > http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume > -- Robin Netherton Editor at Large [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice: (314) 439-1222 // fax: (314) 439-1666 Life is just a bowl of queries. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
