I have now downloaded all of the plates from the Journal des Dames et des Modes up to 1830, La Belle Assemblee to the same point, and all of Ackermann's Repository (1809-1828)! Ha! Is this useful to me? I don't know! But I have it and can reference it whenever.
I think I missed some December embroidery patterns behind the indexes, but they tend to be very samey anyway.
Now, I still have to do a whole exhibition in two weeks, but I do have the main writing done and I've started picking out objects and putting them in the display cases. I'm going to have to date a bunch of jewelry, though. Nobody's going to come who would ever know the difference, but still ... It came in with no information at all.
Also scheduling a collections committee meeting to deal with some of this clothing I've separated out for deaccessioning. And the Quarterly editor has asked me to write a little piece about my position (<1400 words). And I need to create a talk for the exhibit opening at the arts festival. Nothing else just yet. That's enough.
