Liberty & Co. evening gown, c. 1910

The raised waist of this satin evening gown is in the Empire style, modeled after dress of the Empire period in France (1804-1814). Empire style was itself based on the dress of ancient Greece, in which women’s unstructured garments were banded under the bust with an adjustable cord. In this Liberty & Co. evening gown, the criss-cross beaded bands hint at this feature of ancient dress. The mode of embellishment seen on this dress, bands of beaded or embroidered fabric contrasting with a solid ground fabric, appears frequently on early twentieth century Liberty & Co. garments, including wraps and dresses.

Bookplate, 1902. Robert Hall, an avid collector of Kemscott Press books.
On the library table are Kelmscott works, including William Morris’s The Glittering Plain and his 1895 translation of Beowulf. All the books are clearly bound in the distinctive Kelmscott full limp vellum tied with silk ribbons. The Wood Beyond the World is open to show a Morris-designed woodcut border and frontispiece. Leaning against the bookcase is a copy of the 1896 edition of Chaucer.

Remarkably realistic for medieval illuminated beasts, which were often fabulous admixtures of fantasy and fur. The unicorn is clearly drawn from life, for example.
