Thanks for sharing this beauty - one of my favorite pieces. And the fact that we have Paul van Somer’s beautiful portrait of Rowland Cotton wearing it in 1618 makes it even more magic ✨

Jemma Field @jemmafield.bsky.social · Jan 7

Congratulations! Fabulous lineup. Have placed an order with our library and I look forward to reading 🙌

It's kind of wild that you only had to be 57 years old to be simultaneously an Elizabethan and live through the Restoration of Charles II

My favorite world!

Jemma Field @jemmafield.bsky.social · Jan 5

Thank you! I was over-thinking things here and wondering if it was French or another language etc.

Thank you! I was over complicating things and thinking it was a French or other word. Blue Florence satin is certainly a thing - just meaning that the satin came from Florence.

Send help #earlymodern #paleography wizards. What is this abbreviation “blu”? Context suggests it to be a color (logically black) but I’m stuck. Grateful for any suggestions!

Hello again (even more) new followers! Lovely to see so many people joining and (I hope) interested in #earlymodern history.

In the spirit of sharing more ideas and what I'm working on, here's a blog post about 'perishables' in the East India Company archives.

Fabulous read - cannot wait for the book! Having just written a teeny tiny bit about this recently, I am little fascinated with the EIC textile trade.
