[h-cost] Clothing from 1890 - 1910, eastern U.S.
OK, I admit it - I know a fairly bare minimum about this period. Generic Victorian upper and lower, and "generic" Edwardian upper/lower both highly corsetted and moving towards flapper wear. But - I've been asked to teach my 4th graders part of their social studies unit for the quarter (I teach Library Media - not social studies), and while history is enough of a interest for me to be able to cover what I *need* to, I realized that clothing had been left out of the unit... and since I'm changing the unit a bit anyway... well, my thought was that the clothing changes between 1890 and 1910 show a heck of a lot about how people both worked and played *and* how many beliefs were rapidly changing... so I'd *love* to include a few pictures that I could show in a PowerPoint, fading from one to another. I've got the same set up for a few pictures (yes, don't worry, well within the "Fair Use" range of copyright rules) of Baltimore from "now" back to "then"... and vice versa... but I have nothing with *people*, beyond one shepherd in Druid Hill Park... and he's not really all that distinctive, y'know? Anyone able to point me to just a few pictures I can use? I'm hoping for male and female, child and adult... from those three general clothing types... well, four really, if I consider general lower working class in there as well. Sigh... this is what I get for coming up with "intersesting" ideas at the last moment, I guess... -Liz (gotta hit a library again tomorrow... and just my luck, my preferred one is across the street from a very crowded Wine Festival... which means little to no parking available...) ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Religious symbols in jewellery, was Renaissance dress
Well, I did say "Papist' not 'Catholic'- I do realize that there's a difference. Henry continued to consider himself a good Catholic while denouncing the 'Bishop of Rome'. I also said 'crucifix' not 'cross'- once again there's a distinction. A cross is bare while a crucifix has the dead guy on it.

[h-cost] Reference question
Hi, all, Do you know, has anyone done a modern reprint of: An Account of the robberies committed by John Morrison, and his accomplices, in and near Philadelphia, 1750 : Together with the manner of their being discover'd, their behaviour on their tryals, in the prison after sentence, and at the place of execution. Philadelphia, : Printed [by Anthony Armbruster?], in the year 1750-1. T.H. Breen (among others) refers to it as containing detailed lists of everything Morrison stole. I can download it from the networked (online) resources of the Harvard Library, but I thought it possible someone had reprinted it. Thanks! Lauren Lauren M.

Re: [h-cost] Religious symbols in jewellery, was Renaissance dress
I don't know if the fashion lasted as late as 1640. I know that it was current from approximately 1530 (there's a painting of Jane Seymour where she is wearing a jeweled IHS brooch) thru the late Elizabethan/Jacobean. I'd take a look at period portraiture and check thru some inventories to see if they were stll doing it pre-Civil War.
