Stenton’s number-one collecting priority is objects with a history of ownership in the Logan family. In 1928, The Colonial Dames officially voted “to refurnish the house as far as possible with Logan things,” which has remained a guiding principle and is part of what gives Stenton its viscerally authentic feeling. In January 2022, Stenton purchased a Philip Syng silver cann that Isaac Norris ga...

I’m on those trips too like right now I went to stenton I wanna gk to Johnson house
Loved this!
Thank you. 👌💕
Amazing!
This is clearly a garment that once belonged to a racist cis-woman. Am I the only one speaking up here.
Love the long shots of the garments ❤
Must have been a child that wore that shift it’s so tiny You should be wearing cotton gloves to not get any of the oil in your fingers on the garments!! The kids clothing must have been for special occasions. It’s very clean,and it’s survived. I would think they probably had play clothes they wore everyday. They must have been constantly making kids clothes as they grew up.
The bonnet is mostly holly point lace Very fine needlepoint lace examples of which are in the museum in Amsterdam
Incredible
Thank you . Enjoyed . The wee garments were a wonder. Would like to see more of the collection if time permits.
Very interesting 👌 thankyou
What exquisite garments! Thank you for such an informative presentation.
This is wonderful! Please do more!
Yes, please. And closeup images are especially nice. I’m a knitter and needlework novice. The fine work was especially interesting. BTW, if you have reprints of the reference book, I’d be interested.
What a fantastic video presentation and I enjoy the history and learning about the garments
Fascinating
Very interesting video, thank you
Thank you for sharing these wonderful bits of history. The textiles are are finally woven and stitched.
Mass production of clothing, in my opinion, has negatively impacted the fine art of clothing creations. The attention to detail in these pieces is amazing. Thank you for sharing ❤️
And yet has led to all classes of people being able to be adequately clothed, which was often not the case before.
@@judipierry549 I was just about to reply the same.
Laurie would not have had those fine art pieces to wear. No silk and mousseline or monograms for the 99%.
@@judipierry549 not necessarily.. before your parents would make your suits or dresses or you atleast had a family/friend that could that’s why you see even some lower class people in the 19th-20th century with well tailored suits I was confused until I checked the history.. but remember up until recently a sewing machine was in every household and hand made things last way longer than the mass produced trash they produce now so it’s more of an investment instead of keeping changing the same cheap things rotationally
I enjoyed this very much and love the history of the clothes, and as always, the embroidery was gorgeous!! I hope you show us more.
Lovely❤
this painting looks like the type where one person painted the body & background & a more trained hand painted the face. Neither is very good. They didn't even give her hair. Why did they make her face so dark? This image wouldn't get her any suitor. As a parent/grandparent, I would hate to think of never being able to see or remember my children or grandchildren. Not many lived very long. I don't consider that having a resale value. The value would be to me alone. / In New Hope late 60's I found a Godfrey Kneller painting for sale. I desperately wanted to purchase it, but my mother thought it a waste. It had little cracks all over it. aarrgghh
