However, It would be better if you at least mention that this is a modern (2004) tintype, take of a living person (Marta Vincent) by Vivian Harrington who is a professional CW period photographer who does very good work.><br /><br />Andm by the way, the dress is a semi-sheer cotton in a Red/pink print of large flowers on a white ground. The parasols are all 1860's original, two of which I have recovered in new silk, and on which is all original. The covers on the large one and the one on the floor are black silk/cotton lace woven to specifically fit a paraslo.<br /><br />BTW, I have the original of the Tintype in my home.Marta Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968538812123728970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-69509901604340800842014-04-20T01:07:58.952-05:002014-04-20T01:07:58.952-05:00hi Barbara

Madder root dyes wool and cotton in shades of those colors with a little bit of bright orange thrown in. For more color in paisley prints you have to look to the 1960s revival.Barbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-12529842110881309882013-06-10T18:47:21.257-05:002013-06-10T18:47:21.257-05:00Almost all the paisleys in my stash are very mono-...Almost all the paisleys in my stash are very mono-toned.
