[EKStationers] Fwd: Library Question - Answer [Question #8550574]

Sun Apr 14 09:12:46 CDT 2013

IN the name of Glorious Spring, thank you, Nicole.  However, I find that if I need to explain something out of sync, I will blame it on my persona's predilection for shopping whilst on pilgrimages.  I met my husband Huw the Welsh Baker on a pilgrimage, and I picked up some clothing, housewares, and ideas on other vacations/praise to foreign lands.  Whilst my own homeland is not far from that large city Coln [Cologne] near the Rhine, I have things from all over, plus large trunksful of ancient treasures passed on from the family warehouses.  However, I am inclined to live simply unless summoned to Court.  Yours in great gratitude for your perceptions and help, Linda/ Luisa von Farnemwald

Thank you for your enquiry about pre seventeenth century Welsh clothing.All the evidence points it to there being no real difference between Wales and England when it came to clothing,what you wore depended on your circumstances and inclination as much of anything.It is fair to assume that most clothes would have been made not only of natural products but products produced within the wearer's community.

Contemporary illustrations of clothing are going to be very few and far between but you could try the following sources -

The Library's web page  > Digital Mirror on strap line  > Manuscripts > The Middle Ages > A Welsh text of the Laws of Hywel Dda

Ibid Digital Mirror  > Manuscripts > The Middle Ages > The Llanbeblig Book of Hours

Ibid > Digital Mirror  > Manuscripts > The Middle Ages > Laws of Hywel Dda

Ibid  > Digital Mirror  > Pictures

Ibid > Digital Mirror  > Manuscripts > Early Modern Period > Payments to a serving maid

Other illustrated manuscripts may be seen in

What we perceive as the traditional costume of Wales is really no more than the attempts of one woman to create one based on what the peasant women of her days wore.The following web sites tell the story -

Welsh National Dress | National Museum Wales on

http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/cy/273/

http://welsh-costume.co.uk/

http://www.gtj.org.uk/

The Library does have three boxes of nineteenth century prints  which might be of  interest.These are not catalogued but are available for view.

I trust that this is satisfactory but please do contact me again if I can be of any further assistance,

Yn gywir iawn,Yours faithfully,
