Clicking through the pages of pictures (great site, by the way), there is a nice pic of a book by Alison Weir. The book's cover is a photo of a woman in Tudor dress, which, for once, looks quite accurate. (It doesn't fit too well, but hey, it's a book cover.) Nice to see as opposed to "fantasy" Tudor dresses.

The painting that started the question is by Richard Burchett, painted ca 1854-1860. It is a copy of a painting in the private collection of the descendants of Henry Grey, first Duke of Kent, by an artist of the English School, dated to the mid-16th c. There are literally dozens of copies, most also Victorian. Who knew. You can find the painting in question, the original it was copied from, and all of the other copies at the Lady Jane Grey Internet Museum, here: http://www.bitterwisdom.com/ladyjanegrey/Life/1c.html Enjoy, -Helen/Aidan _______________________________________________ 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
