Hello Phil and everyone The site itself is excellent, great for the armchair visitor where one can examine exhibition highlights on screen. Pictures of a christening bonnet pictures are so clear that even the hand-stitching can be seen. http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/collection/45187/christening-garments Interesting that the christening was in December, 1600 but the overview tantalizes us with a phrase "However, the lace is of a later date."
What an opportunity, if one can attend in person. Thank you for sharing.
