[h-cost] Looking for textile, costume needlework museums near Leeds, Durham or York
I will be leaving for Edinburgh and that area in three weeks myself... so definitely interested as well. First the bad news: The Durham Cathedral Treasures exhibit area is closed and the textiles that were on display (St. Cuthbert) are in storage for an indefinite period. Now the good news: The reason for this is that the Cathedral is embarking on a major development of its Claustral buildings, which will see the Shop move from its current location in the Great Kitchen into the Western Undercroft (where the Treasures exhibition used to be). A new sequence of exhibition spaces in which we plan to display many more of the Cathedral's collections will be created in the Monks' Dormitory and Great Kitchen.

I have a good friend who is traveling to England about two weeks from now. She will be visiting the area around York, Durham and Leeds and is looking for textile, costume and/or needlework museums and/or collections in that general part of England. Her specific area of interest is pre-1650 embroidery in any form (garments, hangings, book covers, etc.), particularly Elizabethan needlework. Does anyone know of such places in that area? Any recommendations? Do they allow photographs? Also, someone once told her about a museum named the Nottingham Textile Costume Museum which supposedly had a very large collection of Elizabethan embroideries, etc. However, this museum supposedly closed shortly after her informant visited it. She thought it was located on Castle Road in Nottingham. We have found a mention of the museum on a what to see in Nottingham website and that seems to indicate the museum is currently open. Does anyone know anything about this one? Any assistance would be appreciated.

No, there isn't much out there. At my visit, I spoke with museum curatorial staff. I asked for copies of any conservation reports on the gown that they had, but they said that they could not find any. They had a new textile conservator, but her office is at the other museum (Barracks) and her interests are more modern. I wasn't able to make contact with her. Lots of 19th C stuff at that museum. I'd say keep contacting the Museum of Ireland... sooner or later some additional will be published.. I hope. Lots of stuff on display (more in storage) that has never been published. I also talked to Dr. Heckett, but she didn't have any additional info. She's not with the museum, but said that the museum's budget for publications is very tight.

Re: [h-cost] Court Pomp and Royal ? Versailles
There are two things going on in Paris this Spring/Summer.. a symposium and the exhibit...see below. Beth Matney Material Visual Cultures of Dress in European Courts (1300-1815)- Château de Versailles (France) - 4-5-6 June 2009 An international symposium devoted to the material and visual cultures of dress in the European courts (1300-1815) will be held in Versailles between the 4th and the 6th of June 2009. At the same time a big exhibition on court costumes (17th-18th centuries) will be held at the Versailles Palace (spring 2009). The symposium will deal with topics related to clothing in European courts with a larger chronological time frame, from the end of the Middle Ages, when a « body of fashion » was established and when the courts began to expand. It ends with the last splendour of the French imperial court. The symposium of Versailles will give the opportunity to survey the current state of research in this field, consider the evolutions between 1300 and 1815, compare the courts and grasp their mutual influences. The conference will be at the crossroads of several fields of research: the Court Studies that have shown the court to be a central site of power and culture; the history of material culture and consumption; lastly the fields of the culture of appearances and those of visual cultures. The symposium looks at three topics: The royal and princely wardrobes in Europe (1300-1815) The pictures of the way of dressing at courts in Europe (1300-1815) The court dress put on stage: stage, screen, podium (20th-21st c.)

[h-cost] women's costume late 13thC
Hey guys, I thought that you may find these two portraits interesting: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z123/Castlegrounds/Portraits/pg92detail.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z123/Castlegrounds/Portraits/pg93detail.jpg Note the cut of the sideless surcote and the minimal headcovering (a ribbon?). On the page 93 detail, note the fur lined cloak and what appears to be buttons down the front bodice (buttons are shown along the sleeves of the GFD underneath in both images). Some form of closure would be required on both, given the high neckline. In both surcotes are what appear to be slits for hands and a full gore set into the front. These are image details of the troubadour Castelloza extracted from Lemaître, Jean-Loup ; Francoise Vielliard . Portraits de troubadours: initiales des chansonniers provencaux I K (Paris, BNF, ms. Fr. 854 et 12473). Ussel: Musee du pays d'Ussel, 2006. ISBN:2903920354 9782903920357 OCLC:68706473 http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/68706473 There are 170 illuminated capitals containing portraits of troubadours. These are reproduced as full page illustrations from two manuscripts (probably both produced in Venice at the end of the 13thC). Most of these are of male troubadours, but there are a few other females as well. Beth Matney ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

It is interesting that all of the women's portraits of both manuscripts (the few that were there) show this. Much more variation in headgear in the men's portraits. Informal settings?

Beth Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:31:38 + From: Anne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Probably not - a troubadour is a composer, and the vida, or biography, of Castelloza says she was married.

Pendant plus de sept siècles, du Moyen Âge jusqu'à la fermeture en 1970 de l'entreprise Blin Blin, la Normandie a été le berceau de cette activité industrielle et artisanale, source d'emploi et de prospérité. Le coton, la laine, voire le chanvre et le lin ont été largement exploités par de nombreuses entreprises, dont les plus éminentes se situaient dans la ville d'Elbeuf. C'est à cette tradition désormais révolue que chercheurs et historiens, spécialistes de l'histoire régionale ont consacré une quinzaine d'études. Ils analysent la production des différents centres normands, les réseaux de commercialisation et d'exportation, les mécanismes de transferts et de technologie.

La Ville de Beaune, qui abrite une importante collection de tapisseries médiévales (Tenture de la Vie de la Vierge et tapisseries de l'Hôtel-Dieu), a par ailleurs joué un rôle de mécène, encourageant ainsi la création lorsque cet art renaissait après 1945. La confrontation entre tradition et modernité met en lumière continuités et différences: une complicité se dessine entre les lissiers anonymes du XVe siècle et les artistes rénovateurs, tels Jean Lurçat, Marcel Gromaire, Marc Saint-Saëns, Mario Prassinos, Michel Tourlière...

I've heard the Look, first the hoops were worn on the outside, but very quickly they became an underskirt and hidden interpretation. I was thinking about the allegorical aspect of religious art. Salome was supposed to have danced naked before she asked for the head of John the Baptist. Is it possible that the artist depicted Salome in her underwear to hint at this nakedness, and that hoops were never actually worn on the outside? (if that's true, why are hoops also visible on the ladies behind her?) Are there any other depictions, anywhere, of hoops on the outside? Any thoughts?

[h-cost] new elist for research in Textiles and Clothing
As you know, it is a bit difficult to keep up with the literature, conferences, symposia, etc. in the field of textiles and clothing from the post-Roman through the early modern periods (500-1600CE). It is a field spanning many disciplines in many languages with the indexing of the journals quite scattered (if indexed at all) and many titles not well publicized or easily available outside their country of publication. Well, in an informal discussion after a DISTAFF session at the last International Medieval Congress (Kalamazoo 2008) several of us (Dr. Carole Collier Frick, Dr. Gale Owen-Crocker, Robin Netherton and myself) bemoaned this and it was decided that an elist might be useful. So I have created two: A discussion list, MEDTC-DISCUSS: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MEDTC-DISCUSS/ and a newsletter list for announcements of titles, etc. : MEDTC-RESOURCES: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MEDTC-RESOURCES/ Though MEDTC-RESOURCES will include the titles and announcements from MEDTC-DISCUSS (delayed and edited), it will not include any of the discussion of them and only in MEDTC-DISCUSS will you be able to post directly (I am quite happy to pass on any suggestions, however) These lists are academic in focus and scholarly in tone. Discussion of personal projects (other than publications), reproduction techniques, supplies, social or re-enactment events, etc. should be taken elsewhere. Please see the full descriptions at the links above. Whether you join or not, please sent your list of publications(in any language) for inclusion to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or directly to me at mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] It would be most appreciated. I do hope that one of these elists will be of interest and assistance and that you will choose to participate.

Re: [h-cost] How Many Costume Books/Magazines/Photos Do You
Tabloid sized (13 by 19 inches) flatbed scanners are available and some photo or print shops have them (even here in Arkansas). These are capable of quite high resolutions.. but most work is still done at 300dpi (or less), due to large file sizes. Images larger than that are usually photographed with various setups. Blueprints (in the old days) were done with a diazo (ammonia) process. Most are now directly printed from computer originals, either 11 by 17 or using large format inkjet printers (usually 36 or 48 inches wide).

Re: [h-cost] h-cost] Vintage patterns and clothing, cigarette smoke
A trick that I learned from a used book dealer friend of mine: Place the books into an air tight bag (trash bag) with Kitty Litter.

My mom used to sew, and I am finding boxes and boxes of patterns from the 60s and 70s -- Simplicity, Butterick, McCall's, Vogue. Likewise, there are four double closets full of, um, typical suburban clothes and shoes, mostly from the 70s. My question is whether there is a market for them, given that they have been kept for 40 years in a house with at least two and sometimes four cigarette smokers. Everything in the house has a strong cigarette smoke smell; many things are brown with what I guess is deposited tar. (Veimru: Yuck.) So before I tell my dad it should all go in a dumpster, I just wanted to check whether there was any point in trying to find a buyer for them. Likewise, though off-topic (because they are not costume books; apparently I developed that obsession on my own) are the books in the house rendered worthless by the smoke and tar?

Re: [h-cost] 14th C. hairnets
Here's a bit more info: One of the nets is netted from 2-ply silk threads in green and white with arms embroidered in silk and gilt silver thread. The arms were embroidered on coarse linen ground and then sewn on to the net. The other net is made from narrow woven silk bands, white, with parchment bits sewn on to the crossings. The parchment was probably once blue. I have long since wanted to reproduce that net, and I even managed to get parchment and silk bands, but I haven't found the time yet. Both nets come from art and antiquity sales, so their provenance is not known, and dating is a little unsure because of the same reasons. They probably date to the 14th c. though.

Re: [h-cost] Articles from journal 'Costume' on-line
Hi Hilary, None of the universities in my part of the USA have access to the Maney journals of interest: Neither back issues, current subscriptions nor online. I am an old student (never quit studying!), now retired. To get the issues, I must subscribe personally. Maney is willing to sell me online subscriptions to sets of journals at reduced rate, but this quickly becomes very costly... and still does not address the problem of back issues. I might as well subscribe to the paper copy. I subscribe to Costume and have all back issues (except 1-5, which I would very much like to get) in my personal library. I have a few back issues of Textile History, but the subscription is beyond my budget (or rather books win over journals in priority). I am seriously considering a subscription to Medieval Archaeology. I wonder would any of the UK universities with ATHENS consider a (very) long distant student? smile Take care.

I did my best to cover as much as I could and to assure her that there were plenty of people outside the SCA Period or even organization who were there ready to be marketed to. She wrote me back with these suggestions: It sounds like we have got loads of titles that would be of interest. In the way of journals we have... Costume: Journal of the Costume Society Textile History Arms Armour Exemplaria: A Journal of Theory in Medieval Renaissance Studies (history, theatre, literature, etc) Medieval Sermon Studies Medieval Archaeology Post-Medieval Archaeology Journal of the British Archaeological Association (?) Vernacular Architecture (?) In books we have: Dress at the Court of King Henry VIII Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe Unlock'd Some sound a bit peculiar until you realize that Sermons frequently mention articles of clothing that are too high, too tight, too revealing, etc. Archeology is where we find a lot of textile or other finds. Now I have to have her give me some quotes for prices. She was thinking it might be possible to do something on the order of a special rate for people from a particular e-group.

Papers consider how archival and bibliographic research can inform our knowledge of textiles and dress, in terms of their production, consumption, dissemination and deterioration and in turn, how the study of extant objects can give added depth to this analysis. The authors include conservators, curators, historians and conservation scientists.

Three papers were of particular interest to me: 1) Textile Tools and Production during the Viking Age by Eva B. Andersson had a nice table containing the elements of Viking costume for men and woment giving the weight of textile for each and weaving technique. This estimate is from the reconstruction done in Lejre and is based on the Haithabu/Hedeby finds. 2) Textile Production in Proto-historic Italy: from Specialists to Workshops by Margarita Gleba has some nice information on the weaving of tablet borders and a nice illustration of a method using warp-weighted tablets. 3) Woolen Textiles in Archaeological Finds and Descriptions in Written Sources of the 14th to 18th Centuries by Kaus Tidow and Eva Jordan-Fahrbach Please be aware that the Appendix is also available separately as: Gillis, Carole, and Marie-Louise Nosch.

The Project will produce a database of terminology from all the medieval languages of the British Isles: Old and Middle English, Old Irish, Welsh and other Celtic languages, Anglo-Norse, Anglo-Norman and Anglo-Latin and will be illustrated with maps, drawings and photographs. Professor Owen-Crocker is Director of the Project in association with Dr Cordelia Warr [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Dr Louise Sylvester [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Project will employ two post doctoral Research Assistants, one each at Manchester and UCE BIrmingham, a part time Administrative Assistant, and two part time technical staff.

The Manchester Medieval Textiles Project began in 1994, as a collaboration between Elizabeth Coatsworth of Manchester Metropolitan University and Gale Owen-Crocker of the University of Manchester. Both had specialist interests in the literary and material culture of the early medieval period, and both were conscious of a gap in general knowledge of an important and all-pervasive part of that material culture, through the relative inaccessibility of sources of information regarding medieval textiles. The Manchester Medieval Textiles Project developed with two objectives, both attempting to bring the basic materials of the subject to a wider audience. The first is to establish a catalogue of all medieval textiles in the British Isles. This starts from the needs of a seeker after specific textiles, or textile objects, who will also be interested in the context of discovery, and will be accompanied by a glossary of textile terms relevant to the finds. The catalogue will be published in due course on the internet, as a searchable database, the most useful form for those who want to devise their own, new, research questions of this material. The second objective was to produce this annotated bibliography of publications relevant to these textiles. It is intended to show the range of sources available to the historian of material culture, who wishes to consider the evidence from the surviving textiles, and whether specific publications will have the kind of information they seek. Both parts of the Project should enable those interested in this material to see what materials comparative to their object of interest exist throughout the British Isles and Ireland; and the differences between cultural areas should also be more readily apparent.

RE: [h-cost] Where to go to in Copenhagen
On display last year at the Danish National Historical Museum, there were some lovely copes and embroidery, some tapestries, Eric of Pommerania's belt (probably actually a woman's), some nice medieval shoes and pattens and some of the Greenland finds. I do not remember seeing the gloves. The Viking and earlier parts of the collection were closed. They will reopen next year. We did not have a lot of time in Copenhagen (spent more over on Jutland) due to a foul-up on flights by AA, but we will be going back in the next couple of years (possibly next year for NESAT).

The brooches had the remains of loops of blue linen around the pins inside them. The folded textiles were quite large. One was a panel, about a meter long and 26 cm wide, consisting of silk strips which the researchers deduced (on the basis of stitching marks that may have fastened loops) to be ornamentation from the top of an apron dress.

An interesting tidbit is the derivation of scarlet as shorn cloth (ie. a fulled and shorn woolen cloth) on pg 19. John Munro summarized the thinking on this point in the article he wrote in this year's volume of MCT. He gives a pretty good argument that although this theory has been around for a century or so and is still widely accepted, the hard evidence from the period doesn't support it -- many woolens were fulled and sheared, not just scarlets, and there was nothing different or more expensive about the shearing process used for scarlets. He has offered his own theory, first published in his landmark article on The Medieval Scarlet in 1983 and reprinted elsewhere, that links the name to the kermes dyestuff, which is indeed the differentiating characteristic between these cloths and others (and accounts for a huge proportion of the price difference). Scott certainly would have had no trouble finding other sources that repeat the older theory, but it's a shame she didn't pursue the matter by reading the more current (and well-known) work by Munro. --Robin ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Beth Gold Brocade and Renaissance Painting. A Study in Material Culture by Rembrandt Duits. 24 x 17 cm 484 pp. 290 illus. £150.00 (November 2006) ISBN 1904597424 Cloth. Rembrandt Duits completed his PhD at the University of Utrecht , and works at the Photographic Collection of the Warburg Institute, where he also teaches Renaissance material culture. His thesis, Gold Brocade and Renaissance Painting, won the Karel van Mander Prijs for the best publication on art between 1500 and 1800. Gold Brocade and Renaissance Painting discusses the representation of Italian Renaissance patterned silks in paintings from Italy and the Southern Netherlands , from the 14th to the 16th century. It is the first study to approach this subject from the perspective of material culture, attempting to answer such questions as why the subject of luxury textiles gained so great a popularity in Renaissance painting, how artists catered for an audience that desired to have gold brocades depicted but did not always possess the financial means to own the actual fabrics, and what the skills artists developed in this field contributed to the rising social status of the medium of painting. The material culture of the grand courts at which real gold brocade played an essential role in the display of wealth and status is compared to that of the socially ambitious but less affluent middle class for whom paintings were often the only affordable substitute for courtly splendour. Thus, the book also addresses the problem of the distinction between fact and fiction, imagination and reality in the account of contemporary social history presented in paintings. Contents * Introduction * Fictional Fabrics. The Correlation between Real and Depicted Silk Textiles * Conspicuous Consumption. The Markets for Gold Brocades and Paintings * Princely Patronage.

[h-cost] New book 14th C Italy
After all the talk about books that are delayed in publication, I thought that I'd mention one that I've just got in today. Has anyone else seen it? Beth Gilding the Market: Luxury and Fashion in Fourteenth-Century Italy by Susan Mosher Stuard 336 pages | 6 1/8 x 9 1/4 | 14 color, 10 b/w illus. Cloth Dec 2005 | ISBN 0812239008 http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/14208.html In the fourteenth century, garish ornaments, bright colors, gilt, and military effects helped usher in the age of fashion in Italy. Over a short span of years important matters began to turn on the cut of a sleeve. Fashion influenced consumption and provided a stimulus that drove demand for goods and turned wealthy townspeople into enthusiastic consumers. Making wise decisions about the alarmingly expensive goods that composed a fashionable wardrobe became a matter of pressing concern, especially when the market caught on and became awash in cheaper editions of luxury wares. Focusing on the luxury trade in fashionable wear and accessories in Venice, Florence, and other towns in Italy, Gilding the Market investigates a major shift in patterns of consumption at the height of medieval prosperity, which, more remarkably, continued through the subsequent era of plague, return of plague, and increased warfare. A fine sensitivity to the demands of le pompe, that is, the public display of private wealth, infected town life. The quest for luxuries affected markets by enlarging exchange activity and encouraging retail trades. As both consumers and tradesmen, local goldsmiths, long-distance traders, bankers, and money changers played important roles in creating this new age of fashion. In response to a greater public display of luxury goods, civic sumptuary laws were written to curb spending and extreme fashion, but these were aimed at women, youth, and children, leaving townsmen largely unrestricted in their consumption. With erudition, grace, and an evocative selection of illustrations, some reproduced in full color, Susan Mosher Stuard explores the arrival of fashion in European history. = ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] wool/worsted was Re: striped skirt
Not quite. It has to do with the fiber length and the way the fiber is prepared for spinning. Worsted was combed long staple and woolen was carded short staple that is spun to make thread. Because combing lays fibers along the length of the thread, it makes a stronger thread, but woolen can be fulled and a nap raised and sheared. The progression in history was combed (worsted...wasn't called that until much later), half worsted (combed warp, carded weft), then woolen. Like most generalities, this is over-simplified (Romans also had napped and sheared wool textiles). Early wheel spun thread was deemed too weak to take the stresses as warp, causing an inferior cloth. There were quite sensible reasons for the guild regulations: it has to do with reputation, market and getting premium prices. Since textile towns (and their guilds) lived or died.. quite literally.. based on the sales of their products, they were not inclined to take too many unnecessary risks.

[h-cost] textiles was Re: striped skirt
Many cities, not just the Italian ones used color coded selvages.. and there were cases of other cities counterfeiting them. I believe I read about these in various economic history books studying the wool trade, probably Carus-Wilson or Bridbury. Lead cloth seals were also used to mark the origin of the textiles. Lead cloth seals were used up to modern times. I got a bolt of cotton the other year with one on it! I know of no cases of mixing fibers in the thread in Medieval (or earlier) Europe (with the possible exception of dog/wool blends in the Greenland finds). Many cases of mixing threads in a cloth however (some quite famous): silk warp/cotton weft (mulham), linen warp/cotton weft (fustian), linen/woolen (linsey-woolsey) and silk/woolen come to mind.
