Ancient. Roman. Bath.










A pretty incredible opportunity to handle (with white cotton gloves) garments dating back to the 18th C. Imagine, absolutely everything hand done, no zippers/snaps/rivits/etc, and gold thread, is in fact thread made of gold. The last image is a print from a Fortuny velvet cape. Dreamland.
From the Museum of Costume, Bath.
