| Additional Information |
Some facing pages contain manuscript notes in French, which provide specific names for the corresponding fabrics. A faint manuscript inscription on the front free endpaper indicates a British origin, reading 'September 8, 1831. The Coronation of his Majesty King Willm. 4th took place with that of his Consort Queen Adelaide'. Florence Montgomery, in Textiles in America, 1650-1870, identifies these swatches as Norwich worsteds and supplies a date of 1785. Please note that some of the metadata for this document has been drawn from the Winterthur Library catalogue. |
