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

    • Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.
    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here. 
    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.
