Sorry for the cross-post.
I got this from one of the government info websites today. This
website could make it easier to research American history in different
parts of the country, for example how New York CIty helped with
disaster relief after the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.

Hi Ingrid,
from what I recall, in earlier periods many
fabrics were yarn-dyed in small pots, because it
needs less wood for the fire and you can "get" more out of the color stuff.
In excavations from the late anglo-saxon era,
they found traces of madder, woad, weld and a
kind of orseille an
That's beyond a typo. It's the "Greverade Altarpiece" by Memling.
The same dress also appears in a "Crucifixion" by Memling. Both

Ingrid, I can't help you a bit, but am wondering if there aren't some other
lists for where you might get some help. I will forward to my Croft list
