All Dressed Up
The paintings on show in All Dressed Up offer an engaging insight into costumes and their wearers; from the fashionable garb of 16th century Knaresborough aristocrat Sir Francis Slingsby, who was beheaded for treason, to the working clothes of 1930’s Kentish hop pickers.
Find clues in the costumes about the wearer’s wealth, status and social aspirations, as in Henri Guillaume Schlesinger’s Girl and Lovebirds, depicting a young girl wearing a fine silk dress typical of the 1870’s, of the kind only the wealthy middle-classes could afford.
Learn more about historic costume at a special Study Day with costume curators from the Victoria and Albert Museum on Monday 22 April 2013 at the Mercer Art Gallery. Times: 9.45am to 4.00pm. Cost: £30 per person. To book a place, contact the Mercer Art Gallery.
