Re: [h-cost] Splendors of the Renaissance photos

They bought reproduction brocades at enormous expense but used whatever was
lying around for the lace? Regardless of what lace they used, it isn't the
same type of ruff as the one in the picture.

[h-cost] looking for a picture

[Rebecca Schmitt]

Somewhere in the past I remember seeing a drawing/picture from the 16th
century which showed in the background a period example of an "exersaucer"
for an infant. Does anyone know what I am talking about, or what the picture
might be? My foggy memory has it as some sort of sketch/woodcut style, but
that could be very off. I now have a 4 month old, and having that picture
would be helpful in trying to recreate such a monster for her :)

It's 15th century, not 16th, but there's a "baby walker" type object in the
hours of Catherine of Cleves

Not sure that's the one you were looking for, but...

Not the one in my head, but cool nonetheless! (and we thought we came up
with all of this cool stuff for our kids in *this* century - ha!)
