Oh yes Lemire is great! Also Janet Arnold's 'Patterns of Fashion 3' for the really detailed, decade-by-decade stuff.

yes! what a fun life/account to teach. Philips crops up briefly in my silver chapter. His mention of friends marrying African and Indigenous women is something that's so often absent from discussions of Tudor travellers and their lives in Spanish colonial settings.

The ’king’ & ‘queen’ travelled along the Thames on golden leopards, and ’Indian pages’ carried ingots of silver and gold. This spectacle exhibited stereotypes about the Americas, but also, perhaps, a knowledge of the longstanding metalworking traditions of peoples including the Incas and Muiscas.

On the note of Tudor art, the Philip Mould Gallery has recently acquired a VERY rare & exciting early 16th c painting. More coming soon but here it is being safely handled by Lawrence and Simon, with thanks to Philip for the sneak peek.
