Rome and Honeymoon Notes - Page 3
Description
This is the first page of 14 which has notes on Henry's visit to Rome and Henry and Mae's honeymoon. Various notes on the right-hand side of the page include:
- Extravagant surroundings - cornucopia motifs, heavy brocades, oushak (Turkish carpet)
- Sumptuously upholstered - many styles of passementerie would make it seem very over-trimmed and girly
- Often called a dressing case, razor, razor strop, combs etc all in the "dressing case" - very popular for travelling rich men in this period
An image of this dressing case is included as well.
