@Lucy_Worsley@HRP_palaces A very nieve lover of history, I'm going to ask an embassaing question. When an item is restored or maintained, are the materials used the same as the original? Have substitute finishing been developed that are substituted for the original gold's, silvers, jewels?
@vlavla@joetracini Thank you. I get nervous this time of year because my recovery date is in May. Memories flood back, fear rises in the back of my throat and I am remember how easy and close relapse really is. This will be my eight year anniversary but somehow it never feels celebratory.
@DrEstellePrnq@NPGLondon This detail always enchants me! Can't imagine seeing it in person. Each time I gaze at the detail I have a different favorite aspect. This time, light reflecting off white bodice material. Mesmerizing...
@Lucy_Worsley Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate all you share because I would otherwise never have the opportunity to get the sense of history that you so graciously make available.
@Jo_History @lauraroy1972 I'm among those who appreciate your intriqueing posts and gather insight that I never could on my own! I thought the man in the iron mask had never been factually identified. Is this his true identity?
@TheTTGuide That is such a treasure, especially since Elizabeth was accepted and loved by a mother figure! Thank you for sharing and reminding us of the tradgety of Elizabeth's youth. Didn't she remain close to Anne of Cleve's as well?
