There's a nice on-line display of Holbein's English work at http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitions/holbein/default.shtm . Most of the pictures of women are already well-known but some of the men (and their clothes) were new to me. There are also a number of studies of jewelry. Janet

I just got the copies of "Fashion" by the Kyoto Costume Museum, from Barnes & Noble.com, and I was surprised to find that they are really hardcover, not the not-quite-soft-cover (not sure what the binding was called) that I got when the book first came out. Katy -- Katy Bishop, Vintage Victorian

Bjarne, My interests pretty much begin with late Roman and stop with 1600 or slightly later, so that's what I look for. I see a lot of things for later (18th century is your time?) . I'll try to remember to pass them on also. I think that I just assumed that you were already more aware of them

Bjarne, I have to agree about Philip Mansell's book, but for different reasons. I got it out of our School of Textile library (thankfully) and could check it out before buying it - which I won't do. I am very disappointed with the text (the writing style itself), the structure, and the researc
