The vast wardrobe of Queen Elizabeth I is legendary: in her own
time some of the richly embroidered gowns were displayed with other
treasures to dazzle the eyes of foreign visitors to the Tower of
London. The quantity of clothes recorded in the inventories taken
in 1600 would seem to suggest sheer vanity, but a survey of work
carried out in the Wardrobe of Robes throughout the reign reveals a
different picture. It is one of careful organisation and economy.
This copiously annotated work is illustrated with photographs of
portraits, miniatures, tomb sculptures, engravings, woven textiles
and embroideries. Two indexes are provided, the first of paintings,
persons, places, and events, while the second, partly a glossary,
enables the reader to quickly trace information on fashionable
dress and accessories. An invaluable reference for students of the
history of dress and embroidery, for social historians, for art
historians working in the field of portraiture, and those with a
general interest in the period. Case-bound in cloth with dust
jacket.
