[MR] Elizabethan Jacket Lecture

[cheryl merritt]

The Elizabethan Lecture had to be re-scheduled due to weather, so we are offering two sessions: 
On 25 Feb 2012 at 1:00 pm, Lady Amie Sparrow will give a slide show depicting late Elizabethan / early Stuart embroidered jackets. In 2010, Amie went to Great Britain with an embroidery study group, which was allowed access to 12 extant jackets from museums including the Museum of London, Victoria & Albert Museum, the Costume Museum of Bath, the Maidstone Museum, the Museum of Nottingham, and the Gallery of Costume at Platt Hall. Photos of the jackets will highlight details of construction and embroidery. Because of photography agreements with the museums, Amie can show the pictures for educational lectures, but the photos cannot be posted electronically or distributed. So the only way to see them is to come to the meeting! Amie has edited thousands of photos down to the 200 best pictures. Handouts with information will be provided but no extant photos. 

Loudoun County Public Library 120 Enterprise Street Sterling, VA 20164. 

This same lecture/class will be offered on Saturday 24 March 2011 , 1 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Location: Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church , 3233 Annandale Road, Falls Church VA 22042.
NOTE: Site is a dry site and smoking is not allowed on the premises.

Please RSVP to cmerritt923 at aol dot com if you plan to come. This will insure there are enough hand-outs. Indicate which session you plan to come to, and provide a phone number so we can contact you if something comes up. THANKS!
