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 ✨

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

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

Jemma Field @jemmafield.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

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. blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/history-at-c...

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.

Little fun something I did about one the paintings in our collection at the Yale Center for British Art… something I care a lot about - historic female dress! www.instagram.com/reel/DCto0fs...

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Bluesky academics, let’s get to know each other! Quote this & tell me 1) a project you are working on & 2) an idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about 1) the wardrobe and material legacies of King Charles I 2) changing patterns in female agency over the course of the civil wars

Quote and tell me, because I’m curious to know: what book that you are currently reading would you recommend? I’ll start: Adam Smyth’s The Book Makers. Such a lively history of mostly fragmentarily known lives of book people. #books #rarebooks #bookhistory #earlymodern

Red, black and white paper cover of a hardback book with as its titel ‘The Book Makers. A History of the Book in 18 Remarkable Lives’ by Adam Smyth. The cover depicts people working in different parts of book production, such as binding, printing, papermaking etc.

Jennifer Wu and @jemmafield.bsky.social discuss the striped garment in the painting. Striped clothing originally associated with exotic figures and non- Christians. But as striped Indian textiles become popular in Englad, particularly for men, the moralising messages become more complex.

The people I know panicking most about Trump possibly winning in 2024? Not white liberals. Immigrants. Iranian. Chilean. Argentinian. People who know that governments can turn on a dime, go from a democracy to a dictatorship in a day. They’ve seen this happen before, and they know the signs.
