Why not enquire at the textiles / costume section of the V&A


[email protected]


what contacts are available at Norwegian museums of costume and historical dress? Given the age of the portrait, you may want to enquire into Swedish expertise as well -- I've forgot when Norway left Swedish rule, but it wasn't that long ago.

Hallo Alex K


Thanks for these ideas. I will try the V and A. I have already been e mailing museums in Sweden and Norway, but either they don't reply or they don't recognise it.


An auctioneer suggested that it may have been done by a street artist.


I will let you know If I get anywhere.


Yours,


R N Gutsell

Hallo Huguenot


The portrait is in my posession, I like it, and I am intrigued to know more.


The V and A passed me onto the London Museum and they stated that I would need to cary on doing what I started; ie get in touch with European museums.


Yours,


R N Gutsell

    • Hi, we're in a similar position with our old people carrier and did a look back at our usage and then looked at the costs for car clubs, taxis and car hire costs if we got rid of it. In our case the away trips to family, especially during school holidays, makes it cheaper to keep ours and pay ULEZ (the away trips is the big cost for hiring). We rarely use it for local trips and plan usage to aim for multiple purpose trips. We also share with our neighbours such as moving large items with our people carrier and share the ulez cost. Generally for low use alone it will not make financial sense to buy a newer car. Also, if you have a petrol car check its NOx output amount for ULEZ compliance as TFL wrongly categorised many older cars. Did this for neighbours 2001 car and it's ULEZ compliant when TFL originally said it was not (now fixed) and having the same issue with a 1997 petrol car.
    • you could investigate selling it. No Ulez outside London. Buses and trains? If you are that old you must have a Freedom Pass
    • The proof has always been in the pudding; and as regards Gala and Peckham Rye it has always demonstrated the opposite.  Fool us once, shame on you, fool us twice and thrice - shame on us.
    • I hope the organisers make a big deal about the cancellation of the Park Run. What is the council thinking? This is a private event that is now negatively impacting the wellbeing of residents in multiple ways. The council allege they are heavily invested in improving health and greening the environment.
