PORTRAITS, PURITANS AND PETTICOATS<\/h3>\n

A talk from Stuart Orme<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fashion in the mid-1600s. A talk by Stuart Orme, Curator of the Oliver Cromwell Museum.<\/p>\n

The mid-1600s saw changes in fashion, forced by not only by continental influences but the impact of the Civil Wars and the Republic. What were these changes and how did people of this period dress? Did all Puritans wear black and Cavaliers wear lace? What do the portraits of the period tell us and in what way are they misleading?<\/p>\n

English 16th and 17th Century Embroidered and Woven Textile Bookbindings.<\/p>\n

This engaging talk reveals the often hidden and secret stories behind richly decorated textile bookbindings produced in England in the 16th and 17th centuries. Are the flowers, figures, and fastenings purely decorative \u2014 or do they hint at something more? Come and decide for yourself!<\/p>\n
