I apologize for the cross-posting, but this came across another group I am on, and thought it might be of interest here. Yours, Brad Moore "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." - J.R.R. Tolkien Dear all, I’m pleased to announce that the knitted 16th century cap collection of the Museum of London is now online. The 73 caps, coifs, cap fragments, linings and earpieces have been newly photographed, with captions containing contextual and technical information. All the pieces will have their full captions in the next two weeks. The caps and their parts are of a large group of material excavated from sites around London by workmen in the early 20th century. They represent an insight into everyday urban clothing and a high level of technical skill in their knitted, fulled and napped construction. Caps of this style are in collections across Europe and North America and are the focus of a lot of research interest, so we are pleased to make a large group available to the wider research community. To browse the caps, please go to the Collections Online site and enter ‘cap’ in the Keyword field with the date range 1500-1600 in the search fields. Many thanks to all the researchers who have contributed to this project, especially Jane Malcolm-Davies of The Tudor Tailor. Do please pass this on to anyone who may be interested, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. With best wishes, Hilary [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __._,_.___ Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GermanRenCostume/join;_ylc=X3oDMTJmN2NnZmdtBF9TAzk3NDc2NTkwBGdycElkAzI1NzY0MjMEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDE2MDYxBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3N0bmdzBHN0aW1lAzEzMzk3ODI4OTE->(Yahoo!
