<p>Here’s something I had to share though. A very interesting and well researched article by <a href="http://madameisistoilette.blogspot.se">Madame Isis’ Toilette</a> about supposedly poisonous ingredients in 18th century makeup and their effects: <a href="http://madameisistoilette.blogspot.se/2013/04/deat-by-makeup-18th-century-beauty-myth.html">Death by makeup- An 18th century beauty myth?</a></p>tag:18thcenturyblog.com,2008-10-19:Post/7702012-05-07T13:19:33+02:002012-05-07T13:20:15+02:00Madame Isis’ Toilette<p><a href="http://madameisistoilette.blogspot.se"><img class="upload" src="https://18thcblog.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/1515_medium.jpg" id="image_1515" alt="[Image]" style="width:356px; height:485px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://madameisistoilette.blogspot.se">Madame Isis’ Toilette</a> is a new blog about 18th century beauty products and recipes to make them.</p>tag:18thcenturyblog.com,2008-10-19:Post/7632012-01-24T15:31:51+01:002012-01-24T15:31:51+01:00National Trust Collections<p><a href="http://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk"><img class="upload" src="https://18thcblog.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/1466_medium.jpg" id="image_1466" alt="[Image]" style="width:500px; height:715px" /></a></p>
<p>Everyone and their grandmother have already blogged abut this, but the <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk">National Trust</a> has a new <a href="http://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk">online archive</a>. </p>
<p>So far the information is often scarce, the photos are often small or of bad quality, and the clothes are often badly mounted or not mounted at all. Still there’s lots and lots of great stuff to see, and the search function is great, except for the fact the session times out if you leave it too long.</p>tag:18thcenturyblog.com,2008-10-19:Post/7622012-01-11T17:15:04+01:002012-01-11T17:15:04+01:00Swedish museum database<p><a href="http://emuseumplus.lsh.se/eMuseumPlus?service=StartPage"><img class="upload" src="https://18thcblog.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/1465_medium.jpg" id="image_1465" border="0" alt="[Image]" style="width:586px; height:447px" /></a></p>

<p>I feel terrible for neglecting this blog so much lately, but here’s a great 18th century blog I just discovered. <a href="http://thegoldenscissors.blogspot.com">At the Sign of the Golden Scissors</a> talks about 18th century costuming and has some great articles about 18th century clothing with a focus on historical accuracy.</p>tag:18thcenturyblog.com,2008-10-19:Post/7552011-09-26T11:06:44+02:002011-09-26T11:06:44+02:00Before the Automobile<p><img class="upload" src="https://18thcblog.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/1452_medium.jpg" id="image_1452" alt="[Image]" style="width:433px; height:652px" /></p>
<p>I just found this via <a href="http://isiswardrobe.blogspot.com">Isis’ Wardrobe</a>. </p>
<p><a href="http://augustintytar.blogspot.com">Before the Automobile</a> is an absolutely amazing costuming blog by a Finnish girl with some of the best 18th century costumes I’ve seen. She also makes beautiful 19th century costumes. </p>
<p>My favourite post is one about <a href="http://augustintytar.blogspot.com/2011/09/c-1770s-shoes-2011.html">making her own 18th century shoes</a>, something I have been planning for some time.

<p>This is probably old news to most of you, but <a href="http://www.lacma.org">LACMA</a> has a new <a href="http://www.lacma.org/image-library">image library</a> where you can see high resolution images of many of their objects, including many 18th century clothes. </p>tag:18thcenturyblog.com,2008-10-19:Post/7452011-06-17T12:53:24+02:002011-06-17T13:03:51+02:00Historic Threads<p><a href="http://www.history.org/history/museums/clothingexhibit/index.cfm"><img class="upload" src="https://18thcblog.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/1423_medium.jpg" id="image_1423" alt="[Image]" style="width:500px; height:784px" /></a></p>
<p>I’m very sorry I have neglected this blog for so long. I have been working on my bachelor’s thesis in History and have been too stressed out to focus on anything else, but now I’m back!</p>
<p>First something I’m sure you’ve already heard about elsewhere, but check out Colonial Williamsburg’s online exhibition <a href="http://www.history.org/history/museums/clothingexhibit/museum_intro.cfm">Historic threads: Three centuries of clothing</a>. There’s also a reproduction clothing exhibition coming soon called <a href="http://www.history.org/history/museums/clothingexhibit/index.cfm">New Threads</a>.</p>tag:18thcenturyblog.com,2008-10-19:Post/7372010-11-16T10:47:29+01:002010-11-16T10:47:29+01:00A Fashionable Frolick<p><a href="http://fashionablefrolick.blogspot.com"><img class="upload" src="https://18thcblog.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/1393_medium.jpg" id="image_1393" alt="[Image]" style="width:500px; height:365px" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.johnsingletoncopley.org">John Singleton Copley - The complete works</a> is a website where you yourself can upload missing paintings and drawings to complete the collection.
