Hi,
I´m pretty sure the Abegg-catalogue will give you
more information than you ever wanted. ;-) I have
got one of that series (Cologne 17th century
clothing), and there are not only images, but
patterns of shell fabric, lining and
interlinings, details of the stitches, analyses
of weave structures and all that. It´s excellent,
and the Abegg-Stiftung´s got a reputation, so I´d
guess that Moritz-book is on the same level.
Maybe you can find more online when you google
"Kurfürst (U-Umlaut) Moritz von Sachsen".
Hope this helps

Greetings to the list.
I followed the costume list back in the late 90s and after a long hiatus
have returned to my love, historic costuming. I started in costuming as a
theatre costume major back in the early 80s, but my scholarship and design
skills have never been as strong as my sewing and drafting skills. I also
got off on the wrong foot with my costumier at university and so and I
never got to follow my original career path. The SCA provides a reasonable
outlet in my area of Florida with a nice balance of the search for
authenticity and the joy of creating from your imagination.
I recently discovered the wonderful outfit of Elector Moritz of Saxony in
the collection of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (
http://skd-online-collection.skd.museum/de/contents/show?id=854746) in *Dress
in the Court of King Henry the VIII* and *Moda a Firenze 1540-1580: Cosimo
I de' Medici's Style*. Does anyone know of any further articles on this
costume? I found that the costume was examined and conserved in the
conservation workshop of the Abegg-Stiftung for an exhibition in 2008, but
the catalogue is in German. Has anyone seen this publication? Would getting
the catalogue provide me with any further useful images? I have access to a
few people with some German, but they would not have the specialized
vocabulary of historic costume.
I would really like to make a project for Art/Sci from this outfit, but I
really need some more sources and my scholarship has not improved greatly.
My Google-foo does not seem to be bringing me much insight.
Now where to find some yellow damask? . . .
