Just a quick note that I noticed you added this book to your library recently:
Elegant French Fashions of the Late Ninteenth Century: 103 Costumes from La Mode Illustree, 1886.
It appears to be a direct reprint with a different title of this book: La Mode Illustree Fashion Plates in Full Color. I thought you might like to know, so you can choose whether you'd like to purchase the identical book or not.
It appears we have many of the same interests. If you are in the South Bay, let me take you out for a cup of tea!

As for Queen Elizabeth, I don't know what her contributions, if any, were to the Royal Collection. Ironically, last week, a friend of mine was down-sizing his library, and I was selling his copy of
Camden's Elizabeth, but he changed his mind and decided to keep the book instead.

At length, I've seen your post about having a copy of Jane Pettigrew's A Social History of Tea, which you kindly said you'd look at and let me know about. As it took me so long to notice it, I thought I'd go ahead and ask. Have you had a chance to peruse it, yet?
I lift my teacup to you, in any case. Cheers!
