Does anyone have any insights on the symbolism of this badge from c. 1900? It belonged to one of the founder members of the Manchester Italian annual Whit Walk.

It’s been a long time coming… so thrilled to share the cover (and Oxford UP website last in 🧵) for my book, _Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America_, pub date 7.2.25 (but will ship, so they say very enticingly, mid-June. 1/ #VastEarlyAmerica 🗃️

Book cover with various kinds of evidence of family history arrayed around the author and title, the latter is _Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America_. The kinds of materials include printed texts, manuscripts, a red book (shhhhh that figures largely in the Introduction!), a watercolor family record, Fraktur, gravestone, and a sampler. One repeated text says "born free, born free (etc)"

A great example of the kind of plain silk gowns that abound in collections but aren't usually exhibited. While the popular idea is that extant clothing is the crème de la crème, these could easily have been the "best dress" of someone lower on the social scale. 🗃️🪡

A high-waisted gown of a dark olive brown/green silk. Square neckline and front drawstring closure; long sleeves, shaped to slightly flare out at the wrist.
