Hi everyone--
I am subscribed to h-cost but have not been able to actually participate or
even lurk for a long time, so when Marjorie wrote to the museum at which the
exhibition I curated, Embellishments: Constructing Victorian Detail, is
currently showing I confess I had a total DOH!! moment. I should have let you
all know about it when it first opened! But the show is up through March 23 and
as she wrote on my behalf, there will, at some point this year, be a book
related to the project. The book will be a blend of coffee table book and
how-to guide for making the kinds of embellishments on view. I will be posting
a link later this week to an overview of the exhibition, not just the one
rotating dress currently on the official museum web site. But in the meantime,
here are some teasers, I hope they post. And if any of you are in the Durham,
NH vicinity, I hope you come see the show!
Best wishes to all of you,
Astrida Schaeffer
All are c. 1880
