Krátky popis
Pencils, a sketchbook, cake, yards of stolen ribbon, thimbles,
snuff boxes, a picture of a lover, two live ducks: these are just
some of the fascinating things carried by women and girls in their
tie-on pockets, an essential accessory throughout the 18th and 19th
centuries. This first book-length study of the tie-on pocket
combines materiality and gender to provide new insight into the
social history of women's everyday lives-from duchesses and country
gentry to prostitutes and washerwomen-and explore their consumption
practices, work, sociability, mobility, privacy, and identity. The
authors draw on an unprecedented study of surviving pockets in
museums and private collections to identify their materials,
techniques, and decoration, their use is investigated through
sources as diverse as criminal trials, letters, diaries,
inventories, novels, and advertisements.Richly illustrated with
paintings, satirical prints, and photographs of artifacts in
detail, this innovative book reveals the unexpected story of these
deeply evocative and personal objects.
