Two Men's Items: One Over Coat, One pair of Red Knit Underwear, 1890
This lot includes two menswear items; one over coat, one pair of knit long underwearfrom the Tasha Tudor Collection of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Tasha Tudor (nee Starling Burgess, 1915-2008) was a writer and illustrator of children's books, including Mother Goose and Corgiville Fair. The idyllic, 19th century world she painted in her books was the lifestyle she pursued: for much of her adult life Tudor lived on New England farms, weaving, tending to animals, baking bread, and collecting, mending, and wearing centuries-old clothing. For detailed biography, see Jeanette Chandler Knazek, "Tasha Tudor," Tashatudorandfamily.com.
